Actually, Mike, the P&W 720, registration N720PW is bright red and a bright blue. It was repainted prior to the PW6000's first flight. The red is only on the wingtips and the tail (also the nose and the engine being tested). A picture can be found at the bottom of the press release of the PW6000's first flight at http://www.pratt-whitney.com/unique/html/releases/0821.html.
