I agree it is a bit bright, but it could be like the pyramids of Egypt which were brightly polished/colored when they were originally built.
IIRC there was a layer of stone on them that has since been stolen for other buildings.
EDIT: But this is just an idea/theory as I've never heard of an evidence suggesting this historically. Though I'd imagine there has to be some discoloration due to weathering.
