The white walls of the modern buildings in Vernon look like fresh painted. I understand the area is quite new but there must be lots of white walls that have been painted at least 5 to 10 years ago. It looks to me as if there is no black dust in the air in the LA area. There is no coal or steel industry and the ground is more or less light colored sand and rock. No black soil. I understood also that the LA area has some severe air pollution problems but that does not materialize in dark colored particles in the air that could cause the "usual" weathering of white painted walls.
I am close to the conclusion not to weather the white walls of my buildings at all to look like the prototype. May be very selected a dark spot from a local incident (e.g. at the side of a loading dock) but no all over weathering to tone the white color down to a light gray with stain from rain etc.. The walls are simply white.
