I'm not sure why its yellow. Many of the medieval castles that I remember
seeing in central Europe were brown/tan/red instead of gray, depending on the
local stone supply. Yellow may have been closest to what they thought was the
right color. Also, the yellow castle first came out in 1978 (set 375 in
Europe), when gray was not common, but was in use. The only medieval castle
that I remember seeing at Legoland in the mid 70's was yellow with gray trim.
