I'd say they were a yellowed white, but white castle walls didn't come with
those brick patterns!

Could it be some bizarre lighting that's making them tan? But there's another
set for auction by the same people on the same background with grey bricks • that
LOOK grey! Some hideously yellowed grey castle walls? A malformed picture?
Gremlins in my monitor?

Well, I can rest easy... they ARE in fact light gray. It appears as though it
WAS the fault of bad photography... No cool white castle walls, no custom done
tan walls, just ordinary light gray castle walls with bad lighting... the
person auctioning has no clue about anything Lego related-- just got a big box
o' bricks and parted it out as best as they could. Which is probably why
there's no description-- that and the fact that they're offering TONS of
items... which would be hard to fill out data for, I guess...
