minecraft dark medieval block palette
The tool opens in Similar mode with dark oak planks as the start. For a medieval look, what counts is the contrast between a warm dark wood and a cool stone, and the numbers below show where each block lands.
The same noise of 4 on almost all of them.
All between #454546 and #4e4e52.
The base repeats the wood, the accent is blackstone.
Stone and bricks sit at 0.007.
Start with a base block and ask for similar ones: blocks with a close average color (a good rule of thumb is a distance below 0.03 in OKLab) make a cohesive palette. Then add an opposite-color accent with Complementary mode. Use 3 to 5 blocks and prefer textures with similar noise.
The dark oak log, wood and stripped log, of course, plus spruce wood (the block with bark on all six sides). The tool lists them by color distance, and all of them sit below 0.035.
Polished blackstone has a faintly purple undertone (#37333c) that contrasts with the warm brown of the wood, while deepslate is a lighter neutral gray (#4b4b4b). For strong contrast, use blackstone; for a more closed, uniform feel, deepslate.
Because its average color (#3a2a24) is nearly dark brown. The tool compares color only, and gray terracotta lands at 0.031 from dark oak, but it is flat (noise 0) while the wood has noise 4.
