The current Air New Zealand livery is too white (they are now painted without the pacific wave), but I sense that won't always be the case.

I personally think airlines have a significant amount to gain from an attractive and interesting livery. In that they stand out and become free advertising. Even to the non-aviation enthusiast, the random bystander will turn and say "Oh! Look at that plane! What airline is that?"

Most likely the new one.
Boeing have been building and storing 787s for a while now. This one was most likely rolled out of the paint shop before JAL went all cheap on themselves.
