Greyish-white, grey, bright blue, all with sparring gold accents. Here's the colors I chose when modeling it, compared live with the real thing. ;-)


Thanks! The reason I ask is that I've always seen pink in the color of paint on the castle walls (even in the photo you posted). But I've always heard people refer to it as white. Maybe it's one of those "is the dress white/gold or black/blue?" things.

the color scheme on the castle has been warmed up with recent re-paintings prior to the Makeover for the 50th.
Originally it was pale gray with Blue roof tiles...Very French .....and in my opinion, the best color scheme for our WDW Castle... Pink is for Sleeping Beauty...and Disneyland's Castle.

Me when it's 95 and humid and I can't find an available seat at Casey's Corner to eat my corn dog nuggets after Splash Mountain went down for technical difficulties.

Correct in my book. Cindy is a lady not a Kardashian

So I'm not crazy and the castle *was given some pinkish shades over the years (prior to this paint job)?

This color scheme makes it look like two separate buildings; one castle built and then another was added on top. It looks completely disjointed and ruins the illusion of a real castle. All the gold trim on what is supposed to be stone still looks tacky to me too.
Well the majority of the bottom half is barely finished. It will likely blend better as one cohesive structure when they are finished.

While I'm sure there are people who think the castle should go all the way back to opening when every brick in the wall was the same colour, I actually liked the way it looked in recent decades. I'm not a fan of the new colors, wasn't a fan of it at Disneyland when they first rolled out this much more intense shade of pink in 2005 over the more subtle tones they used over the more subtle blonde pink they used in the 80s and early 90s. However, MK's castle still wears these ugly tones better than DL's because it's rooftops are more cobalt than cyan.

Castles usually have the living quarters inside a walled keep. This is accurate, ugly but accurate

The new paint on the castle is astonishing. It looks the best it's looked in 49 years!! A fairytale castle shouldn't be drenched in ugly grey tones, it needs to be bright and colorful. Yet another home run by Disney!
Are you 14??

The castle has a classic look with the grey/blue tones...

Because Disney makes cartoons...doesn’t mean they have to make everyone look like it’s meant for Disney junior.
