Building with it

Light Gray Concrete is the quiet stone-substitute of the colour set: close enough to weathered concrete to pass as a pavement, but without the noise that real stone textures bring to a wall. Its dye is the most common one in the group, since an azure bluet, an oxeye daisy or a white tulip each give one, so a flower field is all the supply you need.

In practice

Concrete powder only hardens where it touches water, and the resulting block is the flattest, most saturated colour the game offers. Light gray is the shade closest to real poured concrete, which is why modern builds use it for whole facades where terracotta would look too soft.
