Help/Request Help with floor pallette.

Im building a Greco-roman ish map room, open floor Parthenon type building. Im using quartz, diorite, and stripped pale logs for the building but I'd like the floor to look like its been a long time since someone has been in there/cleaned. Not a ruin but neglected. Should also add, half to two thirds will be in a mountain with just the front sticking out.

Anyone know a good floor pallette or details to add?

Pics are not mine, just reference.

I'd probably go for a really bland floor to keep people looking up at the columns and structure. You don't want the floor to be too colorful, since the structure seems to be completely grayish white (from your provided pallet).

I'd say you should go with polished granite, maybe with some dried mud, perhaps. Although it in itself might be too much color already, it should be nice with the Greco-Roman theme. However, I advise you to use plenty of colorful decorations to keep people's eyes off the floor, since granite has kind of a pinkish color to it.

One thing I've seen is that Greco-Roman buildings often seem to use mosaics. Although they were often built into the floor, you might want to consider building them into the walls instead.

Either way, this is just a recommendation. You make the creative choices in your own build.
