Overview

• The new palette draws from the castle’s original look, featuring grays, creams, blues, and selective gold accents to highlight architectural details.
• The reveal came during the “Beyond the Spires” panel at Destination D23, where Disney positioned the project as a visual restoration rather than a redesign.
• Disney emphasized durability, noting accelerated UV and weather testing, automotive-grade coatings for hard-to-reach roofs, and varied paint sheens for realism and shimmer.
• A timeframe for the repaint has not been provided as Walt Disney Imagineering continues to finalize the paint design and specifications.
• A recently reported permit near the castle has limited public detail, and its connection to the repaint has not been established.
