Good-looking coloured blocks?

[Kalagorn]

I want to accentuate 4 towers with 4 different colours, and I don't want to use wool.
I want each colour to have the same style (Brick, like Marble), so they just are coloured differently. I started building with Marble, but from what I see it doesn't have different coloured variants, so I want to know, what blocks have different coloured variants?

Railcraft has different colors of stone and brick. Extra Utilities lets you dye stone, cobble, bricks, stone bricks, obsidian, redstone blocks, and glowstone blocks. Minefactory Reloaded has a few different types of blocks in different colors. A few of the more expensive to craft chisel blocks have different colors, like the factory block and a few others. Santa's Decor and Magic crops are two others that have blocks that you can "dye".

I like the stained clay, specifically the cyan and yellow variants. They aren't bright colors, and most of the time they don't resemble the dye, but they just look so clean.

RFTools Dimlet Labs (or whatever they're called) has given me a new appreciation for stained clay. So much in fact that I have begun mass production of the entire palet for...reasons.

Ztones also adds a whole bunch of decorative blocks, some of which are colored.

Also, if you're looking for a block whose texture is one solid color, it's hard to beat Exra Utilities' Lapis Caelestis blocks. No texture, no shadows, no light levels, no sign of which face of the block you're looking at, nothing. Just one solid color.

Looking thru my Infinity modpack inventory, how about the three ProjectRed-Exploration mod's blocks - gem blocks, 9 gems per block - Ruby, Sapphire and Peridot... Very deep dark rich colors, vivid colors, red/green/blue. That's only 3 colors tho. You could try the Tinker's Construct blocks - Cobalt, Ardite, Manyullyn, Aluminum (blue, orange, purple, white).

If you really want some variety, go for the Thermal Expansion metal ingots and turn them into blocks. I just made a bunch of different TE blocks, all similar look but different colors - copper, tin, lead, silver, invar, electrum, shiny, signalum, lumium, enderium, and more.

I'm going to make most of my house out of enderium blocks for exactly this reason...

Do keep in mind this may affect the output of BR turbines. @rhn 's testing shows some interesting mechanics at work.
