Thanks to Daniel at The Lion and the Cardinal I have learnt that the outside of gothic cathedrals were painted. I simply had no idea! Click here to see some photos of the spotlight and laser show at Amiens Cathedral, which show the original painted colours of the sculptures outside.
[Edit: I don't feel too bad about not knowing now: Fr Jim also writes that he was not aware of the colour outside cathedrals.]
