Original color of Parthenon?

The Parthenon was not originally white. In the early 19th century art historians first proposed that the Parthenon, along with all ancient Greek structures were actually painted. The term for this is "polychromy." It has taken a long time for scholars to accept that this building was painted because of preconceived notions about the architectural purity of Greek buildings. However, close observation and modern scientific analysis have proven that the Parthenon was in fact originally painted several different hues including blue, gold, and red. The University of Iowa has done a computer generated model of what the temple may have looked like with its paint in tact.
