See those work. The ones that don't are Ratatouille and the new Guardians ride. Painting a building to make it blend in looks awful.

Little off topic but I found it cool so I’ll share.
On Disney + the “One Day At Disney Shorts” has a recent short on a project manager on Remy’s. He shows what inside the building looked like probably around 8-10 months ago.

I don't think you can judge until you see it in person. The perspectiven s going to be different than from a photograph and with the foreground, it may just blend into the background.

are they completely done painting the flat? It looks way too light/white and unfinished. If they just added some more color and darker shades it may look better and help add depth.
A photograph shows there’s no shadows or depth though. Especially when lit like that post noon, you’d expect there to be shadows cast by the bulk and detail.

The blue building to which you replied isn’t Ratatouille and looks a lot better out front.
The lightness is supposed to make it look further away.

It's TOO light though. There's too much contrast between the actual buildings and the facade attached to them. In looking at real distances, things don't start to lighten until they are way farther away than that.

So... still pretty lousy.
I understand the need to make the flat lighter for proper atmospheric perceptive; so as to better blend in with the sky. I believe that's the intent. However, in doing so it no longer blends in with the surrounding building and looks... well, flat! I think a more detailed flat is needed.
Besides if it's that washed out now, how will it look in 3 years time with FL sunfading?

looks so much better in the darker flash, wow!! Thats really all they need to do, but like you said its just too washed out now and going to get worse in the sun over time.

If they haven’t “sealed” or “stained” it yet, it will appear lighter.
It needs to sit out for X amount of days/hours in advance of staining or sealing.

Maybe the story is that it’s foggy in Paris?

Old school Imagineers would have built a real facade with real architectural details, not just paint.

Luckily you won't really ever be able to have that view from inside EPCOT, because it's basically facing outside of the park (I think). It'll be an issue for the Skyliner, but they've already shown they don't particularly care about sights from on board the Skyliner.
If I'm visualizing correctly, though (and I may not be), it'll be the view you have entering EPCOT from the International Gateway, which is unfortunate.

Eh, that lousy dimensional facade that’s still there isn’t exactly new. This area wasn’t supposed to be seen and despite being more and more visible has never been given the appropriate attention.
