I would say that the traffic area is to a washroom. I would also say the floor behind gets scrubbed & waxed very often. check what the backing is on that 15 year old CGD. I would hazzard a guess that something is wicking from under the walls. did someone use gallons of water to strip the wallpaper or to wash the walls at one time?? In that enterance take a good light and rule out any shadows I believe it is called metamarisim. But Lee will clear this whole matter up in seconds?

This is throughout the hotel not just near the washrooms - not a flooded out bathroom.

Not light related as it is in hallways not exposed to outside light. Someone else suggested pesticides.

What's metamarisnm?

   Metamerism is the situation where two color samples with different spectral power distributions appear to be the same color when viewed side by side. A spectral power distribution describes the proportion of total light emitted, transmitted or reflected by a color sample at every visible wavelength; it precisely defines the light from any physical stimulus. However, the human eye contains only three color receptors (cones), which means all colors are reduced to three sensory quantities, called the tristimulus values. Metamerism occurs because each type of cone responds to the cumulative energy from a broad range of wavelengths, so that different combinations of light across all wavelengths can produce an equivalent receptor response and the same tristimulus values or color sensation. Two spectrally different color samples that visually match are metamers.

If you say so

When was the condition of the carpet first apparent?

Since no one knows anything and they have a new maintance manager its hard to say. It looks to me that it has been there a few years and it is on multiple types of carpet.
They own a portable that they claim they use on some of the sleeping rooms - I wonder if they tried to clean the halls and used some nasty stuff and also left it wet.

I agree with Doug. Something from under the wall has leeched out and into the carpet.

That particular hallway appears that way.

Is the texture different in those areas?
