Suggested Colors for Painting & Weathering
To achieve a realistic stone wall appearance, it is recommended to use a color palette inspired by natural stone shades. Examples include:
Various shades of gray (e.g., neutral gray, dark stone gray) for the base stone color.
Gray-brown and earthy tones (e.g., earth brown, dark tan) to diversify the color of individual stones.
Green shades (e.g., olive green, moss green) for spot imitation of moss and lichens on the wall surface.
To enhance details and give the wall authenticity, it is recommended to use weathering techniques such as washes (e.g., dark brown, black) to highlight grout lines and shadows, and dry-brushing (e.g., with light gray or white paints) to emphasize the texture of the stones and their edges.
