You can't stay on the beta patch forever, and if what you say is true, that Luthier has said the colours are here to stay, then when the real patch (the next one) comes, the same colours will still be there..
So, will you stay with the beta, probably not as most people and servers will move on with the times.. so you will probably have to change as well, rubbish or not.
It may not be ideal, as I liked the original cockpits for instance, but I'll switch to the new patch when it comes all the same..
