Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking south toward the historic center and Mount Uludağ (such as from Tophane Park or the Gökdere valley), showing plane tree branches in the foreground, the twenty domes of Ulu Cami and the turquoise dome of the Green Tomb in the middle-ground, and the towering, snow-capped slopes of Uludağ rising in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick pine and beech forests of Mount Uludağ, parklands, and plane trees ("Green Bursa").
