Good colors for tudor houses?

Post by Crazycrownieguy »

Hey everyone
So I am working a building with a big chunk of tudor goodness, and I was wondering, what is a good color to use?
I was thinking of using light blue, white/tan, or green. Would any of those colors work?
Do you guys have any suggestions on the color I could use?
Thanks

It seems like most people use light blue, white or tan. If you have enough sand green to pull it off, I'd try that. It's a new enough color that it hasn't been overdone quite as much.

Dark red or dark tan might be neat too.

Any of those colors are a good choice though. It really just depends on what you have available. :)

I'd say it just depends on the effect you are going for. TraditionallyI believe they were white or tan, so if going for realistic then that's the route I'd go. If fantasy is your game, then heck.. the sky is the limit.
Don't know if that helped or hindered.

I think tan is good because it resembles Wattle-and-Daub style. Most pheasant houses probably would have been made out of Wattle-And-Daub.
