The palette

Mixed dark stones (deepslate bricks, cracked deepslate, blackstone bricks, deepslate tiles) for the walls, pale polished basalt for the quoins and plinth, blackstone for the string courses, dark slate roofs crested with iron. The only warm colour is the orange glass lit from behind by shroomlight, with one purple lancet as the accent.
