Hi
I can not answer all your questions but it is perhaps worthwhile to note the reconstructed barrack building at South Shields. That has been finished off with plain white plaster and it is interesting to observe the effect rainwater falling off the roof tiles and splashing of the ground has had on the wall. It has caused a dirty brown stain right along the wall about a metre off the ground the whole length of the building! In fact roughly where you would see the red painted band on Pompeian buildings.
