Perhaps even backwards. The manor houses in Sweden were painted white. Really big manor houses were painted white with yellow trim, and sometimes the really big ones were painted yellow with white trim. The owner of the manor provided housing for the people who worked for him and those houses were painted Falun red. How do I know this? My ancestors built the manor Skeberga on Island Torsö and the lovely little white church. Berget is an outgrowth of one of the surf's house built by Pastor Lampa on his manaor Skeberga. Did you take the tiny ferry to the next Island, the smaller Island Bromo? Lampa's son married the daughter of Anders Magnus Ornberg, squire of the manor there and the principal employer for both islands, as owner of Bromo glasbruk.
