Well, it's a really difficult question. You could try to insert some
bricks with different colours in some odd places. (DkGrey, green,
brown, tan, ...)
Another way to achieve a slightly "worn" look would be to, in a somewhat
random pattern, substitute normal bricks with 1x2 bricks with "grille"
pattern, 1x1 brick with perpendicular stud (car headlight) with or
without a tile on it (to achieve the look of uneven bricks) or other odd
bricks.
I've seen this technique used on a some images of a castle in a LEGOLand
park (sorry I don't have any URL), and it worked great! I don't have
any experiences with this myself, though.
