Ah yes, tapping into the nostalgia of nicotine stains...
No joke, my literal thought. Like the off white stains in the ceiling of an old smoke friendly building.

Looks like the side of a midwest 70's high school gymnasium, finally a throwback nod to celebrate the 50th........

I mean, the powder blue wasn't terribly modern either. I would've preferred something grayer, though.
It looked clean. This has a stained and industrial look.
I agree. A grey would even work to.make.that specific in-between layer stand out.

It would be so odd if they were eliminating the blue from Space Mountain after eliminating the blue from TRON that exists in the Shanghai version.
If anything the blue on Space should have been updated to match the blue on the incoming TRON. This neutralization of the colors does not work, it makes the buildings look totally drab - which is counter-purpose given that these buildings literally house roller coasters. Subtlety is one thing, missing the mark is another.
This whole Tomorrowland "redo" needs to be redone. Whoever's in charge of the land's color scheme has totally lost the plot.

I mean, you no longer really even see that part of Space Mountain from inside the park unless you’re on the train or PeopleMover, so it doesn’t contribute much to the land’s color story regardless. There are too many whirligigs blocking the view to the side of Light & Power now. But I otherwise agree.
Space Mountain should have a mural of the Milky Way painted on it.
This way, no one will notice the black mold.

I would prefer a bolder, darker blue, like Navy Blue.

I guess beige paint was cheaper then blue this time around. Obviously the new floor ate up part of the paint budget.

agree, I kinda like the 70s/80s nod do I dare say? Its sort of reminiscent of Horizons and use to be the color anyway as marni pointed out. The rest of the land however..........someone needs to get their act together.
Would like to think this could lead to getting the original castle colors back at some point.

Home Depot had a 30% off sale. It was too hard to pass up on those savings now that resort hotel parking is “free”.

Maybe the color will be better for color projections during the evening. Don't tar and feather me, just trying to be positive towards WDW, for once.
