Anyway, the function is more important than the form here.
At this point, it looks like they'll be white, although it's not like they couldn't paint them a different color in the future.

I personally like the white β€” looks more "futuristic" and "pod-like."

I think another thing LA could really benefit from other than a Sepulveda Transit Corridor connection to LAX is a brand new line, starting at Union Station, running along the same tracks as the Regional Connecter, then using a connection between the E Line from Jefferson/USC to the K Line at Fairview Heights, for a DTLA to LAX airport express type line.
Still not giving up on my dream of an LAX Express (with intermittent stops) along the Harbor Subdivision ROW:
