(...) I think it really depends on the castle you're trying to build. Overall, I'd say light gray is the best, but it's possible to have a completely realistic (or evil) looking castle using black with gray highlights. Didn't someone have a pink and (...) (23 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)
