Situ's wall

The building bug has struck me

Here's a current build I'm working on

I've run into a bit of a roadblock though. I know I can't dye everything grey and white or the fortress is going to be really boring. I experimented with some painting and I can't seem to find a paint that isn't too obnoxious and gives just the right amount of color while maintaining the low saturation I desire. What would you do to add some color to it?

Broken image, by the way. Don't use the link to the page, but a direct link to the image. Check the links on the right if you're on PC. There should be one that ends in .jpg or .png. Use that one instead.

Edit your post and put this in.

I think you can dye everything white and gray, so long as the room shapes are interesting, the backgrounds are well-textured, and- most importantly- you have highlights that break up the color here and there. The faded brown of wood is enough if you're going for a realistic style, or something vibrant like bright red banners if you want to go more high fantasy.
