If the wall was black, then was just the city white? Yeah, the movies got this wrong. Minas Tirith had a black outer wall.. Same material as Orthanc. The inner walls, I believe, were white, which was the main colour of the city. It was the outer wall that was black.

They probably didn’t make it black because people who don’t know lore would be like “Why is one of Minas Tiriths walls Black? Black is what Sauron uses.”
