Building with it

Light Gray Carpet leans on the most common dye in the game: azure bluets, oxeye daisies and white tulips all give one. That makes it the cheapest grey to make in bulk, and a good field colour under darker rugs, borders or furniture in a decorated room.

In practice

Two wool give three carpets, which makes carpet the cheapest floor covering in the game by a wide margin. Light gray reads as concrete or worn stone rather than as fabric, so it turns up in modern interiors far more than in cottages, and laid over a slab it hides the seam between two floor materials.
