I absolutely love the style, but I don’t have the talent to be RPing Ludwig II on Alder any time soon… I might pull off a few medieval-style shacks and barns perhaps though? 
And I love seeing what others build like this.

Is there a way to get cheap light gray blocks or is that just stone?
Ludwig II? Could you elaborate? I’m just curious
This sheet may help you to find the lighter colors on the planets
Lots of gathering and mining to do i say

Very helpful. Ty
Welcome to the game!
I also love high fantasy style, but I haven’t build something to that scale so far. Just single buildings:
For “white” colors, I can recommend Ashen Blue Sedimentary from Minorengle
That’s the “white” rock color we had in the beta universe. It works quite well, I use it for signs and Shop Stands.
Cool Violet from Alder and Cool Slate from Gellis or Niia Zed Ka are brighter but the color tint shows a bit more.

Ahh you’re in Chisel Knights. I spoke to your guild leader
I am still waiting for the stone colors “Weary Yellow” or “Ashen Yellow”
That would be really nice

Cold berry is a good option for a “white” block also. But i’m also waiting for true white blocks myself. When an exoplanet comes out with pure white i’m definitely stocking up a few shop stands worth

Might have to wait for the backer planets to get a permanent source for white blocks.
I do like Medieval. I have done a few small designs

Together with @Nyuudles we are building High-fantasy/mystical builds with a emphasis on incorporating nature.
We are working on this
But for ingame views you better visit us because taking prntscrs isn’t that easy when the builds get bigger.
We are located on Pheminorum/biitula and Dzassak

When some folks see a few of the fairly-tale style castles like Neuschwanstein in Bavaria, they might think them medieval because of the style, but they’re actually the whimsical constructs of a 19th century king, Ludwig II. His family, the Wittelsbachs, were a pretty interesting lot. Anyways, he seems to have built these extravagant structures solely to suit his own fancy, though of course now it is a big tourist draw. Would love to visit myself. Which gives me comfort when I see the huge, impractical mansions people build way up on the mountains where I live and maybe live in a few weeks a year… perhaps those will be a big tourist attraction a few hundred years from now! 
If I had the time and talent, I probably would make a Ludwig II alt and grab viceroy of some world doing exactly this, reproducing his castles.

I love all of these for sure 
Look up the color for Cold Berry. It’s white with the slightest hue of pink in it. It’s really nice.
ha I just saw @Venom has recommended it as well.

That’s an epic minecraft build. Not sure there’s anything that huge yet but there are tons of amazing builders in the game.
This is my place.

I agree there’s a conspicuous lack of “limestone white” stone options. To be honest, I was waiting since release for Weary Yellow stone but thus far, nothing.
I’m not building on the theme you asked but here’s what I’m currently doing for “white” in-game.
Weary Yellow Sand (Imdaari)
Weary Teal Stone, Decorative Stone, and Marble (Dzassak)
Cold Tan Gleam, Gleam Pole (Kol Huroo)
I’ve found that while there is pure White gleam, the Cold Tan tinted lighting looks nice against the slight blueness of the stone.
But more importantly, I think that on a huge and grand scale, it will be an uphill battle to “fight” against the lack of netherquartz-like blocks. Personally, the strategy I’d choose would be to adapt the palette and texture to embrace what Boundless does have. We do have at least a few off-white options, so picking roof/accent colors that work to make those options feel white in comparison seems ideal. And of course, world atmosphere+lighting makes an enormous difference so perhaps consider taking a sample pack of blocks to different worlds to see how it looks? 
I definitely look forward to seeing what you build, OP!

I just went to Dzassak and got a whole ■■■■-ton of the whitish blocks. I think I found my source, this is awesome

Welcome to the game!
You look like a really skilled builder! I also like to buil medieval but I don’t do fantasy style, just plain old normal medieval style.
The lack of blocks, or natural and plain blocks is sometimes pretty meh, but bloclchanging chisels lets you take a certain color and change the patterns if it doesn’t have the other types of block in the same color. But I myself am hoping for more plain natural color blocks. We’ve got some decent ones earlier in the year, but those are just skins really (marble, refined gravel). Most of the others are, for me anyway, pretty meh and wouldn’t fit my style.
Hoping for more gray, white, black, brown in other shades than we have now.
