The system

Palette

Nine colors, each sampled from a named file in assets/photos/. Where the shipped value differs from the sampled pixel, the guide records why (a raw stucco mid-tone will not function as a page background).

What the photographs contradict

Flagged, not fixed. The full list is §12 of lancaster-stone.md.

The exterior is not stone.White-painted stucco with a terracotta-toned shingle roof. The fieldstone is interior walls and garden retaining walls. Stone has to be a reveal, not a hero promise.
The setting is Route 30, not open farmland.Every exterior frame carries overhead wires, a paved highway, parked cars and neighbouring houses. No wide of Lancaster farmland exists in the 48.
There are two distinct interiors in the set.Six frames (1273, 1285, 1293, 1301, 1325, 1333) show a conventionally finished house — crown moulding, carpet, marble bath. Different building or different wing; intake does not say. Do not intercut them.
No entrance shot exists.No front door, no threshold, no sign, no house number, in any of the 48.

Three windows, and green outside.
