No no ... Grey with grey - to try to make them invisible. Grey with red
looks like Dan's Bloodstone Lodge:

Personally, I was thinking along the lines of the good referee philosophy.
It's only a good referee when you really don't notice him or her. The walls
can be really good
if you don't notice them. Hence the grey with grey. Again - they can be
used to save on bricks (which tend to be expensive in grey, no?)

idea ... ? Dave n' Eric's World. j/k) used really add an artistic touch to
their creations.
