" / The standard colour scheme for DB mainline locomotives is traffic red with a light grey front bar. For the anniversary "50 years of Intercity in Germany", in September
2021, Deutsche Bahn has given the 101 013 the same colour scheme as the IC coaches. It was given the light grey design with traffic red trim familiar from the ICE and long-distance coaches. A total of 145 examples of the 101 series were put into service by the end of 1999."
