Yep. They probably went by the slide slope (or whatever the other side
of that is called - the rise slope?) and it came out to 190 feet at that
distance.

Being painted has nothing to do with the night lighting. It only
pertains to daytime - paint or lit. There are some that are both, but
only because the owners decided it was better to light it and forget
maintenance on the paint, so the paint is faded below standard. But, as
long as it's lit, it doesn't matter.
There certainly are cases where even below 200' the regulations apply.
It's funny to see a power tower painted and lit while others on the same
line, even higher in elevation, do not have to be. Same with water
towers - the orange and white checkerboards are a hoot.
