So what is the definition of Livery ?

Wikipedia:

Quote:
Livery :
Following on from the decoration of horse-drawn carriages, a livery is the common design and paint scheme a company will use on its vehicles, often using specific colors and logo placement.

In this sense, the term is applied to railway locomotives and rolling stock, ships, aircraft, and road vehicles. For example, United Parcel Service has trucks with a well-known brown livery. Another example is the British Airways ethnic liveries.

The term has become extended to the logos, colors and other distinctive styles of companies in general.
South African airline Kulula has the "Flying 101" livery which features an amusing guide to the various components of the aircraft's interior. The aircraft is lime green all over with white text indicating the components.

I would call the Jetstar change a "minor livery refresh".
