Maybe it’s because the sky is blue and the bus passes under the sky?

If you think about it, the X22 & X66 have the same shade of blue and they both serve the Metro Centre. Obviously the Tyne Valley Ten is GNE's major service from Newcastle to the Metro Centre.

From Hexham & Corbridge, perhaps they're thinking of the following too.....
- XLines = Fast to Newcastle
- Tyne Valley Ten = Links to the Tyne Valley and Metro Centre

Our first two freshly repainted and refurbished Tyne Valley 10 double-decks hit the roads today. These bright  green/blue buses are sure to stand out! The white/orange stripe combo is in keeping with our X-lines buses which offer faster journey times between Newcastle & Hexham.

Although I guess that's down to Metrocentre's 'minimalist' branding more than anything

I’ll reserve final judgment of the colours til I see it in person. From the photos it all looks a bit garish.

• The random gap between the window and the into x
  
• The font on the into Newcastle, Metro Centre and Hexham is way too big that it overshadows the branding.
  
• The font from Crawcrook etc on the other hand is way too small and looks weird.
  
• The mobile phone is chopped in half with no bottom border and looks weird ie the green bar across.
  
• There's a random from the app store buttons for websites randomly placed.
  
• The orange is random and doesn't fit the livery for gold to be used for all the talking bus icons (why not Orange?) and doesn't really do anything bar trying to force the Hexham colour onto it (or the Arriva Max turquoise otherwise)
  
• The Tyne Valley Ten is jammed in a small gap, why not use the space underneath and also looks weird.
  
• The from GoNorthEast is too low.
  
• The angles are either too shallow or start way to far back and it again looks weird.
