Greyscale Village

Greyscale Village is a fan-made location on Tamagotchi Planet that is the hometown of Kurotchi and her six older sisters, the Rainbow Princesses, which made it's debut in Tamagotchi!: Legend of the Pure Notes. 
It is located on a small, white, nearly invisible spot of Tamagotchi Planet, just near it's mouth, and therefore UraTama Town. As the name suggests, it is a village made almost entirely of monochromatic colors. 
It is one of the oldest locations on Tamagotchi Planet, predating Tamagotchi Town, Dream Town, and even Melody Land. 
== Overview == 
The village is described as a medium-sized town with buildings made only of the colors black, white, and various shades of grey. The largest building is a rainbow-shaped fortress named the Rainbow Castle (despite not looking like a castle), with other large buildings including Monochrome Done, The Greyscale Museum, StaticEmporium, and the village's highest-rated and most-watched TV station, Fox Broadcasting Company affiliate TOID.
The weather is often portrayed as overcast in the anime to keep up with it's theme of being made of only grey shades. However, due to the town being rather close to Tamagotchi Planet's mouth, blackouts and high winds are fairly common there. TOID, Monochrome Dome, and The Greyscale Museum are all powered by electricity generators. Whenever the planet cries, a terrible rainstorm tends to occur, with floods occasionally happening. 
Because it is near the planet's mouth, residents of UraTama Town sometimes visit the town and vice versa. Big Boss Gotchi considers the residents hostile to the Ura Tamagotchi, despite some residents being nicer than others.

** Because of this, the music on the radio plays different music per hour. For example, 3 PM plays a tune that comprises of xylophones and harmonicas and 1 AM is a more somber sounding version of Smile for Tomorrow. Whenever daylight savings time ends, 1 and 2 AM (party music) both play for 90 minutes and when it begins, it goes directly to 3 AM (Simple Clarinet sounds).
