I hope they go with a paint scheme similar to TDL's, with the details a darker color so they stand out more and the whole castle looks more realistic. Knowing how things work though, it will probably end up like the DL version, which was painted bright pink for the 50th (and has toned down some in the sun since then, but it's still undeniably pink). Here's hoping...
