Hello. I have a question about the running rigging on a ship. Specifically the Endeavour and the Beagle. Both kits supply tan and black. Both these ships were at sea for extended periods of time. I'm sure some of the running rigging would have been replaced due to weathering and wear and tear. My question is, is it acceptable to rig a ship with slightly different colours of running rigging?
 
I am sure on real ship the lines would be of different hews of sisal rope color and pitched lines from tan to black depending on their age. You are free to imagine and implement many hues of line colors on the ship.

I agree with YT. It is your ship!
