Make Classical Architecture Great Again

Neo-Classical architecture has for several centuries completely missed the point by having buildings constructed as washed out structures of pure white. Classical Greek and Roman buildings were painted in gorgeous colors and we should be actively painting neo-classical buildings to look the way actual classical buildings looked when they were first built.

no, better would be to apply colors so that it would look the most natural, meaning that things like decorating leaves should be painted to make them look as life like as possible, but the base color of the stone should remain in its natural state, and just be cleaned regularly to make it not look washed out. no color looks as nice as the texture and color of natural granite or sandstone.

Not a bad idea. But hey, the natural color of 2000 year old stoke ain’t too shabby either!

What kind of colours because I like the golden look Rome has now.

The classical style is the most beautiful teasure of humanity. A realiable gift of Romans

It would look much better, but it has to be done in moderation; otherwise it destroys the harmony the building has with the city. The vibrant reds, yellows, and blues are just too alienating. I’m sure some subdued colors and maybe one color could work, though. Adding subdued colors to break the monotony of plane white, but not enough to scream “look at me;”that’s the architectures job. Some colored fries (I think that’s what they’re called) would be nice though

I looked it up and I think you just want it to be pure. The explosion of expensive colours don’t work imo.

It's not roman/ Greek architecture. This style is all over the world from Japan to Brazil. Your misinformed.

Nah, white looks better. And some were painted, but not all, not even the majority.

But then it would be classical architecture and not neoclassical. lol.
