In my buildings Ive been very impressed with Floquill's Poly scale paints using my Paasche H or Acrylic / Watercolor brushes. The colors the military modelers have work great too. There are lots of Grays & Greens I like to use for my windows & Doors. Concrete trim can be sandy colors instead of stark grays. Vary the colors by mixing in light or dark tones. <br />Mortar color on some of the smaller layout size buildings in Chicago have reds or Terra Cotta colors in the mix and used on the face brick. When viewed it makes the mortar blend into the brick . For realism, paint the sides and back walls with a common brick color. This is close to a pastel peach with some pastel orange and reds thrown in for randomness.
