Color choices

This guard turns a large wheel to raise the spiked portcullis at a stone gateway. Try a metallic gray for the helmet and sword, then pick a deep color like red or blue for the tunic underneath. The heavy chain and wooden winch could take dark brown and iron gray, while the stone archway and cobblestone path look good in warm tan tones. Small flags atop the castle towers beyond could add one bright note.

Compare armor and stones

Color the knight’s armor using a metallic palette, then apply darker shades to the surrounding stone blocks and archway.
