Because grey castles are so 2003.
I kid, I kid. But this little red number by Lukasz W (LL) really caught my attention. It’s simple, but avoids some typical castle-trappings like boring walls and such. I like the vibrant color, and the white makes everything “pop” just a little bit more.
Of course, yellow is the natural colour of Lego castles, not grey.
But this red? That is really nice.
Freakily coincidentally, this looks just like Castell Coch (Red Castle) in Cardiff, Wales

The link below has good stuff about the history and what-not, but you can’t see the red colouration as clearly
