This time it's about colours of the hulls we've seen in Lego Pirates' ships. I also added 6493, it's not a Pirate set but has a Pirate-style hull.
The first colour in each case is the colour of the top parts of the hull, while the second is the colour of the bottom parts and the whole middle sections if there are any.

So which of these colours is the most aesthetically pleasing/realistic/dangerously looking/whatever you like?
Or if you'd like to see some other colours in the future what would they be?

[Mister Phes]

First shall come my minor nitpick!

Shouldn't the exterior hull colour preceed the interior hull colour? For example 6286 Skulls Eye Schooner, when I read the hull is red and brown I imagine the exterior of the hull being red since its the first colour being mentioned.

Though all the hulls can look good, I voted brown. I just think it looks the best.

[Sting]

Most of them look good(I don't like the green and black too much... well actually im sure it could be used for something good!) I voted for the all brown because it can be made into anything with the right skillz!

[Norro]

Do you mean which looks the best (red and brown for me) or which is the best (as in easiest to use/ always dependable, in which case it is brown all the way...)?

You're just saying that because you're prejudice against the Crossbone Clipper!

Count Sneffy is right, obviously brown is the most realistic, but isn't it also the most boring?

sure it's boring, but a hull is not supposed to be a work of art that rivals Rubens' paintings. it's supposed to be functional, that's it... sure, you can paint your hull in any colour you like, but then your ship probably isn't a 18th-19th century battleship...

[Mister Phes]

An 18th to 19th century (or any century for that matter) battleship wouldn't be benefited by bright colours methinks...

Whatever explanation you like, the question is which one is the best and this for one person would mean which looks the best, and for another person something completely different.

[Norro]

I went red and brown... sentimental value of building the SES and knowing I had the coolest thing on the waves... if it was pure beauty I would have to go with green/black, I like it!

God Bless,

Oh yes, its purely subjective. Some hull colours go better thanother with hull colours. Its always important to choose a hull colour that goes with most of your outfits - you wouldn't want a clash otherwise you'd be a sitting duck against against hostile emenies.

Take the Armada Flagship for example. To be truly safe you'd want to wear a white suit with blue pin stripes. That way you'd camouflage into the sails and be able to move around more freely on deck.

or you could paint your hull into dark blue and all the rest like, masts, sails,... in licht blue. a perfect camouflage for a ship at see...

so here it is then: the best colour for a hull is dark blue...

[Mister Phes]

But what if the sky is deary and grey causing the water to look similiar? Painting the hull dark blue wouldn't work as well then.
