I searched that color scheme and it seems to be pretty popular based on the number of real buses found. But honestly that color scheme isn't my style. I wanted something different, which is why I went purple on the bottom.

Popular because it is an OG finish.

I used to be less of a purist when it comes to L-code colors. Then I started to see what it does to resale value and resaleability. The Ford-colored Beetle down at the shop has been for sale for months; it had $20K invested and is priced at $12.5K so it's a good value. The previous owner ordered the work and then was hit with a divorce so it's available for the balance; and it's not selling. Then there's the convertible in the background here:
Someone should get that one before it's finished and re-topcoat it with a stock color.

Bummer about the fire, but my two Beetles went up in value a little that day.

Do you chase neighborhood cats with that hippy bus? I would.
