Greek ship colours, patterns and other details
#4
Thank you very much for your posts, I think we can use the pompei frescos to some degree. Even though the ship we are building is of much earlier design, it would be logical to believe that patterns and colours followed the same or similar schemes.

Concerning the frescos, all of them show red/yellow/brown ships with white patterns and details. Do you think this was caused only by the artists selection/availability of colours or that the ships really looked like that?
