Perhaps, can't say it would be "much better", though. It's all a matter of opinion, after all :D blackthorn wouldn't look good in doors IMO, though. It's better for the roof tiles. Also the colors wouldn't match that good. It's already dark overall, so Schist gives a contrast, which basalt or black ore wouldn't give. It's also the main stone used for construction on the other houses so it matches that. It turned out exactly as I wanted it, actually :D

Wouldn't that make the central doors all-black?

I don't think so, just the bottom of the columns, but might change the doors too

Yes, it would. There's that too. I wanted the cat-gold door :D

So it's impossible to have different coloured doors and column bottoms? ...

Yep, I'm afraid :( But I think that's a mighty suggestion I'd certainly back up should you post it in C&I. Split stone types in 3, 1st for base, secondary for door, tertiary for column bases.
Also, making the door secondary and column bases tertiary wouldn't mess up already built great halls, so the change could be made easily.

The dark towers need a dark mortar between the stones. Just looks bad, I think, though I love the idea.
