The palette

Grey stone bricks with mossy and cracked ones for the quay and the piers, pale polished andesite for the coping, dark oak logs for every post, beam and brace, white calcite between the timbers, spruce for the louvres and birch for the stalls, and a grey slate roof of tuff, andesite, stone bricks and a little cobblestone and moss. The accents: blue and packed ice on the counters, one green copper spire, lanterns everywhere.
