The Colour of Gargoyles

[CountBogro]

I'd go for the grey ones; unless it's meant to be a very posh or awe-inspiring building. In that case I'd go for golden ones - but I can't think of many buildings having other then grey ones.

But why don't you make a poll about it

Just my own 0.02 worth...

I'd say the grey (stone) or the gold, not the anthracite metallic.  Maybe the grey would be better still with a satin finish as it looks a bit too glossy.

Dito. Couldn't advice better

. . . But my building was all grey , so it was like the little ornaments dissapeared in the grey if choose grey  . . .

This was my chief reason for preferring the darker anthracite color although it makes sense that the gargoyles would be carved from the same type of stone as the building stones.  If you use the stone grey color perhaps you could apply some darker shading in the creases of the figures so that they will be more easily seen as gargoyles from a distance.  Just a thought . . .

I personally don't like the anthracite.  I'd opt for gray if you want it authentic and to blend in or gold if you want it to stand out.  I do, however, think the gold complements the gold lanterns nicely.

Oh, that's a good thought. I should keep this idea in mind, maybe useful for some future customizing works of mine.

Could you give a picture of the whole building ? This might get us a better perspective on the overall look and would narrow it down to one color .

From the corner shot it looks like an interesting building with some creatively used parts .
