I think Leyland Nationals look better in anything other than that uninspired dreary NBC poppy-red or leaf green. The SELNEC orange and cream wasn't very pleasant either but as time went on some of the variants of that livery after it became Greater Manchester Transport were quite attractive. One of my favourites was this version adopted by Greater Manchester South after the PTA was split in two ready for Privatisation. Indeed No 261 carrying a cherished number-plate and it's sister buses looked in perfect harmony surrounded by the orange-reds and whites of Stockport Mersey Square's fine Victorian Architecture.
