Odd question here, but I'm currious what paints you guys have used in the past to simulate the color of limestone. Any suggestions? A combo of Floquil paints (Depot Buff, Old Concrete, etc.?) or others?

I'm working on a project with a building that is made of cut stone, and I'd like to simulate cut limestone instead of granite (or whatever "structural grade" stone material the kit is composed of).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
