I think it's neat and it brings history more to life.

that's not too controversial i don't think?

Really?

It seems a lot of people went "That makes more sense!" when they found evidence the statues were originally painted instead of white. Idk if they like one more than the other, but I didn't see any complaints.

it's not new information, it's been known for a long time, just less so by people who don't specialize in that kind of history

Outside of one art snob, I haven't seen any complaints: if anything, most reactions I've seen to this discovery were delight and curiosity.
