There will be lights npcs on it anyway.

It'd be a good idea to have vines of some sort if it's a ruins. If it's an underground dungeon, a brown tint would be nice. Though I disagree with these guys, gray can look good in dungeons as long as everything isn't gray.

Gray torches kind of make sense. So just give it a small amount of brown tint and I think it'd look fine.

And I have to disagree completely Gray has its uses rarely, but should hardly ever be a base color, no matter if it's dominating the scene or not.

Really? I feel that Grey works good with a bronzish (like castle tiles) background. Like say, the castle staircase top tile used as flooring, with Gray torches lined up to something would work pretty well.

EDIT: That being said I would consider a brown tint an improvement.

Typically you'll want to add a tint to go with whatever you're doing. If it's going to be with bronze, aka metallic, usually a slight blue will make it look more specular, like silver. Red in gray portrays a rusted hue, green can look natural... so on and so forth. These are basic color theories from the colors themselves(brown is earthen, blue is metallic and cold, red is warm, green is natural... so on and so forth), that is just expanded and should be molded with gray. However, gray is naturally a neutral color, and if you're looking for something neutral than by all means... but by itself is a very boring thing to look at, especially if not used efficiently(see Delteria's port town).

There was a link on pixelation a while ago that had a bunch of colors and what personalities and such they were most related to... wish I could find it.
