Indeed.
Thanks for the extra info guys! (and Eric, I did go look at that site. Many
of the paintings didn't come up but the ones that did, made the point
nicely, thanks for the link!)...
I would agree that earthtones are the colors of reality. And I use them in
my buildings when I can but I confess that for reasons of expense I do
build in primaries as well. I would refer you to my ISCC entry which had 4
buildings, a shed and a leanto, the buildings were yellow and gray, red and
grey, tan and white... if I had had more earthtones at the time I would have
used more.
I've just gotten 4 more Yodas so expect to see quite a bit more tan from me.
And some rust too of course. Earthtones are getting more common but they're
still hard to come by.
