Turning down the saturation will provide a less blinding, florescent blue ... and toning down the black to a lighter charcoal/ash gray will show more detail on the trucks, and body door panels
He does have a point... Your blue is over-saturated and the black is too dark. Adjustments could be made to this skin, but since it's yours, you do what you want.

I love the yellow footboards. The weathering is great as well.
Settle down mate. He's right. The blue is over-saturated and the black is too dark. Very very easy fixes. Would take about two minutes in any basic image software. 'Blinding' isn't attacking you, it's simply suggesting what to do to fix the problem.
It's not that. This guy always says something like that, everytime I do a reskin. I thought the point of reskinning was for the reskinner's standards. It's up to my standards. I want it to be 'dark black', because most RRs have black paint like that in real life. Since the panel doors are for show and doesn't do anything in the game. It shouldn't matter.
But the colors are still over-saturated. That's a fact. Does a real locomotive look like that? I think not.
"Dark black" is usually a very dark grey, with RGB values like 20, 20, 20, or 15, 15, 15, not 0, 0, 0. That black is...a bit too dark.
Yes, you have standards, but people like us do too. We can have an opinion on it if we want.
Here, i challenge you to turn down the saturation level on your skin, then show us a screenshot. You'll be surprised at how much better it looks.
But hey, if you don't want to change it, don't change it. I really could care less.

Alco Spoken Here
Colors -> Hue/Saturation
I'd also suggest lightening it up a bit and then weathering it back down if you want it to be darker. You'd want to work with layers for that. For layers go to Windows -> Dockable Dialogues -> Layers.
While Cascade expressed his point in a rather direct way, he does have a point. Also, the entire process of learning something is to constantly raise your standards in order to push yourself and see what you can achieve with some time and effort. It doesn't happen overnight, and the learning curve is steep, but you wind up learning something that can help outside of a hobby or a pastime, especially in the globalized and technological world that we live in today. Don't settle, and don't be afraid to push yourself a bit.

Might need a better excuse than that mate. A lot of reskinners use GIMP, ie, Me. So, adjustments could be made to this skin to, per-say, give it a more, "realistic" or "reasonably real" look.
It is simply just a small adjustment that should be made. These are just suggestions on how you can make your skins better
