Yeah, it makes a completely different statement when it is blazing white in the sun versus black with soot.
A lot of people were very upset when some of the Italian renaissance paintings were finally cleaned to reveal the hideously garish colors that they were originally painted in. It seems they liked what they were familiar with and assumed that is how they were meant to be seen.
Not unlike how people think about their own interpretations of religion. So maybe it is appropriate that the church is black rather than white...
