    Hmmm, they are both good, looks like the grey one is a bit sharper though, would say the green color + the sharpness of the grey would be my preference there The icons look great, simple but interesting!

    If you are going to add slight color variation other places and for other elements, then maybe the greenish/yellow, if not the more monochromatic works well.

    I prefer the color, but imo it looks more like grass, not really trees.

    Thanks a lot for the useful comments guys!

    So, I keep the colors and tried a combination of the two versions. I'll obviously have to be more precise about the coloring, but the general idea is this. I thinks it works better.
    I know I'll have to put a halo around some labels (and probably won't put so much labels anyway...).
    For a better view, the first is at my full working size

    Couldn't resist to name the Elyden Strait. Of course, the original owner can change it if he wants .

    Wow, I love that application of soft colors on the terrain and greyish paper. Really pleasing to view and explore the details of the map.

    Looks great Ilanthar. Though some labels are barely legible.

    That looks good Ilanthar.
    You achieved a nice balance with color softness and edge sharpness.

    Thanks all, I'm glad you like it.

    @Max : I know, I know... I'm testing but I'm still not really satisfied (hard to read at final size).

    Here's the same for the whole country.

    Wow, that looks utterly awesome Ilanthar! I could imagine the forests even a tad less saturated, but i guess you tested that already Keep up your great work, it's always very inspiring!

    Yeah I think in the north the spots of really saturated forest stand out a lot, maybe try desaturating them or evening out the color? But I think everything south of Farenvago looks amazing! I really like how the trees blend in with the mountains.
