I can tell you one thing, I'm tired of coloring wagons and wheels. mostly the wheels. I've always liked busy market place scenes, more so for the business of it. It's open enough to get a feel of what's going on, but busy enough to make you want to explore the area a bit.
They took this late in the day or the morning, based on the angle of light, its rather steep, and the amount of food they have left, I'm calling it the morning. However there are boxes that are empty, maybe this is for trade? Or they dropped stuff off at night? I have no idea. But playing on that theme, I wanted the sky to have some impact. I was afraid that the tones would all be earth tones, which I was right. And it wouldn't have good thumbnail appeal, so I added a nice gentle pink sunset. It goes pretty well with that dome.
The colors of the building is sort of an ivory color, but it probably reflects the colors of the day, and probably kind of dirty. I went with greens for the roof mostly because it's agriculture based and it's probably filthy.
