The palette

Stone in five shades: stone bricks for the body, cracked and mossy bricks and a little andesite mixed in so the walls look old (more moss near the ground), polished andesite for the quoins and the string courses. Spruce for the hoardings, deepslate tiles for the lead roof, a red banner as the only colour.
