ilikeboomerang1 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Hello, I am planning on building a Green Grocer of different color, and I want to know what color would be the best looking. Medium Blue Blue Red Reddish Brown. So which one do you think is the best Quote
VintageLegoEra Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) I think Reddish Brown will be something new and great looking. Try to make it first with LLD so u can have more idea about how it is going to look like Edited July 1, 2015 by VintageLegoEra Quote

It's probably my internet.EDIT: Now I finally have it, so I'll be able to build it there. Edited July 1, 2015 by ilikeboomerang1 Quote
Tonywing_64 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I choose dark red and green but also curious to see some other colors Quote
tafkatb Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Of the colors you've listed, I think Reddish Brown would look the best. But what I'd really love to see is a Medium Lavender take on it; one would have to swap regular 1x2s for the slotted ones, but other than that I'm pretty sure all the necessary parts exist. Quote
notaromantic Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Lavender would be interesting. And, Medium Blue might look "cool". But I would stay clear of either Red or Blue. They've been done before (you can find pics online), and I think the primacy of both colors somewhat strips the design of its cozy appeal. Reddish Brown. Hmmm.... That's from way in left field, which may surprisingly work, or which may not surprisingly 'not work'. I tried something similar recently, in the throes of a color dilemma - and it thankfully payed off. But, I did my own grocer in Dark Blue. Came out wonderful. Can post photos if you'd like. And I didn't seem to lose much in the way of not having the grooved brick. But I know some have used the Masonry Brick with success, which I'm trying now, and the masonry brick offers another flavor.

VintageLegoEra Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Great to hear u wrre able to make the LLD works on ur PC... Now lets see your color variations for this set. Cheeers Quote
ReplicaOfLife Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Out of the ones you suggested, I'd propably go with reddish brown. Medium blue might work, but I think it's still a little too bright to really work on a large facade. And as others said, steer clear of the primary colors. I did my own version in sand blue, like most did. I also saw a tan version on here somewhere which looked nice aswell. Quote
mmcclelland Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 The 2x1 with groove is now available in pink, I think with white it could look good, some old buildings where I live are that colour, might be interesting to see Quote
GregD Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 I did a Medium lavender version of GG as a bakery. At first I thought it was a bit too bright, but later it settled on me. https://www.flickr.com/photos/97858998@N07 Quote
