A common design choice which irritates me in metro systems is to have all lines use the same color scheme (or very close to it) on rolling stock--the Tube obv with its red/white/blue, or the very common "silver (mayb w black or brown accents) everything" in USA

Washington DC, too...five colors for line names but the same stock on all of them...at least the older rolling stock added some detail to its side-view color scheme by having a dark brown stripe along the windows, but it looks like newer designs have "corrected" thispic.twitter.com/e9aIpF4ye7

The DC rolling stock moves around a lot. That, plus the interlining makes a colorful fleet impractical. As fun as that would be.
