I’ve been wanting a T1 log cabin set since I started playing!
I’d also like a T .5 set that’s just sticks and leaves, for primitive shelters. They could even be temporary and unable to be refreshed. My sticks and leaf shelters are probably not something most people would care for though
It’s broad daylight in those pics. The torches barely factor in at all. Nor should it be necessary to use witchfire torches, with their artificial blue, to try to make it look a color it is not. It’s just not gray, period.
I built a sample structure in the north without any torches to exclude all yellow effects.
While it certainly looks grayer than in the desert with yellow torches, it does still have a slight brownish tinge, so I think it is fair to say the Arena set is not completely gray.
Very few things are naturally gray. Most natural rocks tend towards red, orange, blue, purple, yellow or green, or even a mixture of several colors. Heck, the famous Castle Grayskull is actually green.
I see grey. But a muddy grey, like arena. So I understand why people building in the desert say brown. I always build in Highlands, and it always looked grey to me.
Yes in this case, the original color is a mixture of greys with a hint of grey-brown, to simulate granite, but it depends on the ambient light of the area.
I think the stone color from where you get it ( the color of stone that you mined it from) should also set the color atleast for non dlc building pieces.
