There's one little detail I've been thinking of. Those conical faded yellow rooves on the towers were obviously a real thing at the time, you showed one I think in the swallowtail merlon thread.
In reality I think these could have been brass, sometimes polished brass, which would be impressive enough shining in the sun.
Perhaps in the Rosettes, if indeed they are part of the City of Jerusalem, they are truly meant to represent gold?
Elsewhere on this site it was mentioned years ago that the yellow paint was particularly prone to fading so I wonder what it looked like when fresh?
