   (...) that (...) The section in the middle of the second column from the left seems to be white on its underside, or at least a lighter color than the rest. Perhaps it's a matter of bad UV contamination; were these printed wall sections available in (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: TAN castle walls? It CAN'T be! But what IS it? —Tamyra Teed
   I believe they were printed in white, though the stone patterns were in red not grey. I have to admit they look tanish white to me on my screen also. I'm guessing they have to be grey and it's just a bad bad picture. I'd mail the seller if you (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: TAN castle walls? It CAN'T be! But what IS it? —David Eaton
   (...) Well... I wasn't going to place a bid, unless I KNOW they ARE tan (And I'm 99.98612% sure they're not)... but I am REALLY curious-- mostly because it doesn't look like they're grey in any way, shape, or form! Usually a bad picture just looks (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

   (...) I don't really see the issue here. In my mind they are gray. The only strange thing I see is that the person used a flash to take the picture and the effect made the pieces in the front look tanish. That in my mind is only because they were in (...)

     (...) strange (...) they (...) I guess I can understand that, but the color, though "wrong," seems remarkably consistent nonetheless. Would a single, relatively small flashbulb cause such an even distortion of color? I'm asking at face value; I (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

     (...) Just look at the light on the sheet/cloth the person used the light distribution matches that of the distribution on the LEGO. Another point when I have tried using a flash I took a picture of a Gray wall and the entire wall took on a color (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: TAN castle walls? It CAN'T be! But what IS it? —David Eaton
     (...) Same here-- I think that's really the only logical possibility. I don't think white walls were EVER offered with those patters, black is out of the question (I'd say), dark grey wall sections never had ANY patters that I'm aware of, and red (...)
