KringlesBricks Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Hi, brickers, I broke ground on a warehouse to add onto my train layout and station...and would like to get your opinion on color choices I built the following to compare what side I should g with: The BROWN side OR GREY side. What side should I go with?? The grey side OR the the brown side?? Opinions?? The white will be white signage with black lettering for the town name (sticker soon to be made). I throw a picture of the SNOT going on behind for fun... Quote
Kristel Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I like both. The brown side looks more residential though, so the grey might be better for a train station. Quote
dr_spock Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Do you have a photo of your layout and where the warehouse is going? Quote
timmyc1983 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I also like both, but I think the grey breaks up the other colours well, with the brown it might look a little too much the same... Great work tho, I look forward to seeing your layout, happy building :) Quote
ronenson Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I also like both, but I think the grey breaks up the other colours well, with the brown it might look a little too much the same... Great work tho, I look forward to seeing your layout, happy building :) Exactly what I was thinking Quote

Great work tho, I look forward to seeing your layout, happy building :) Same here. And can you make some pictures of the layout. Quote
LegoSjaak Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I prefer the grey.. i think it would look a bit castle-ish if you would use the brown... It depends also a bit on what kind of building you're designing.. if it is an old building..more wood would be obvious and then brown would be better.. but again, i would choose the light grey!! Succes! Maybe this topic should be moved to the 'Town' forum... Quote
KringlesBricks Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 I built the foundation today for the warehouse; it'll butt up to the station where you see the opening under the three windows of the second floor - it'll lead into the warehouse via a ticket/baggage window/door (a Lego Minifig will check-in baggage for Passengers) Here are a couple snapshots of the current warehouse against the Train Station... I'm still bouncing back-n-forth between the Grey and Brown. I put grey columns up to see what it looks like... I like how the grey blends in with the Grey Stone/brick work as the foundation. I'm just trying to tie the buildings together in a way where each building is different, but related. I guess you can say the station is a mix between wood and stone... Quote
zephyr1934 Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I think the gray is too busy, because you still have the brown outline around the sand green (the brown window frames and flower box seems fine if the rest of the brown was turned to gray). But if you keep the brown around the sand green, I would go with brown for the pillars as well. BTW, what you have built of the station looks great. Quote
JopieK Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 it is becoming very nice! I agree with zephyr that it the gray is indeed a bit busy for the eyes but apart from that it looks great! Quote
KringlesBricks Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) Thanks for your opinions...it means a lot to hear what you have to say - it helps in the design process. After a coupe days to soak in each color and hear your opinions.... ....the color of the columns will be...Brown Here are updated pictures of the warehouse...I have two builds going on now - the warehouse and the Train station I am very happy how the colors are working out now, and excitied about my sliding door below More pics...enjoy...
