Overview

• Walt Disney Imagineering says the repaint will emphasize grays, creams, rich blues and selective gold accents, returning to a traditional look.
• Wyatt Winter outlined the approach during a Destination D23 session focused on castle design and durability planning.
• Cinderella Castle currently features a rose-gold tone with deeper blue spires introduced in 2020, with 50th-anniversary adornments since removed.
• Repainting the 189-foot icon and its 27 towers is a complex operation that can require cranes, moat access and careful coordination around in-castle venues.
• Imagineering notes each Disney castle is treated uniquely, using stone-by-stone color mapping and techniques that lighten hues higher up to heighten the towered silhouette.
