well without a court court case, York have to have a colour code by next year , in our case its black, yep, black, hard to see in the dark, hard to keep clean, they look grotty, looks like a funeral procession, and in some cases Black with some manufactors have up to 30 different variations of black

passenger making complaint to LA

LA . Could you recognize the driver

Passenger, er no, but the cab was black in colour

LA, well that narrowers it down to the whole fleet

I dont think there is case law other than what you possibly already have from cases on here at magistrates.

The question seems to be is it a 'reasonable' condition......this depends upon current circumstances.

Because I suspect they didn't consult properly.

If they do that then they can have yellow with pink spots.
