It's going to be worse than that if the screenshot is any indication. The area is basically varying shades of one colour. At least the Goblet has different coloured cobbled stones, it's built at an oasis and it's surrounded by mountains and cliffs with some greenery. That screenshot only shows monotone grey stone in snowy mountains. There is an almost complete absence of colour and zero variation in terrain.

Unless the facelift it will get will render it unrecognisable from that screenshot, and distinct from traditional Ishgardian architecture, it's going to be very very grey.
