I found a stereoview from the Met Museum that dates to 1856. To me, this one looks gray, especially next to mine. It also has squared corners and arched photos.
This thread is starting to turn batshit crazy. Here are the screenshots of the two colors of from those two stereoviews. They're clearly both some hue of browns. One slightly deeper with a bit more reddish tone and the other lighter and more pale, but both are clearly browns.
