"Bathrooms!! My kingdom for some bathrooms!", exclaimed the rather
uncomfortable Lord of the manor.
A great hall would be nice, and if done properly could free up some of your
bricks. A guard house could sit next to the gate. If you wish to include
buildings on the interior, they could be entirely of a different color on 2
or three sides (respective to they're placement) and support castle exterior
walls on the opposite sides.
LEGO direct/bulk ordering does sell lots of grey brick parts packs from the
shop at home service or from the web site. Star Wars LEGO has some of the
grey plates in some sets like 7151. Try to alter the appearance a teeny bit
with the addition of a compliementing color line all the way around, too.
Don't forget that you can create more brick with arrow slots peppered around
the structure. Interior support can be of a different color without
distracting from the exterior color also.
I have these problems as well.
2 cents,
