GR translation: Contrasting wood x’s on closed doors

[Mike Jing]

V706.26-34, P720.28-36   Ensign Morituri, Carroll Eventyr, Thomas
Gwenhidwy, and Roger Mexico are sitting at a table on the redbrick terrace
of Der Grob Säugling, an inn by the edge of a little blue Holstein lake.
The sun makes the water sparkle. The housetops are red, the steeples are
white. Everything is miniature, neat, gently pastoral, locked into the rise
and fall of seasons. Contrasting wood x’s on closed doors. The brink of
autumn. A cow sez moo. The milkmaid farts at the milk pail, which echoes
with a very slight clang, and the geese honk or hiss. The four envoys drink
watered Moselle and talk mandalas.

The word "Contrasting" is referring to the colors of the wood, is that
correct?
