I don't like the yellow color of the houses, the stairs that are as brown as the mountains, the blue masterkeydoor, the candle-lights without candles on the castle-walls. The dark green trees feel a bit too dark, only a bit light green. And the gasha-trees, please edit them a bit to fill the hole for the gasha-nut.
[Edit] Just my opinion, but I just looked up your previous version of the map and I like the old palette and colors a lot more than the new ones.
I went back and changed that stuff. Except for the trees. I actually like the slightly darker visual on the trees. Also I like shadows more this way. It's not worth trying to change the trees and throwing the shadows off. I did go back and change up the gasha tree though. I also changed the buildings to a brownish color and the stairs are more of a yellow.
The old one wasn't actually a palette. I just slapped CSet5 everywhere. xD i do like the colors from there though. So I kept them in a few spots, namely the mountains. I like this a bit more, for the color variation.
Well, there's your to-do list!
I do think that, for wooden houses, the yellow cast is a bit strong. I've also seen stairs that were clearly carved out of the mountainsides, in which case the similar color was to be expected, but since these seem clearly man-made, a different color might suit them better. Maybe the same as the wood from the houses if you want them to look like they were built from the same material. The green of the grass(y stuff) in the center of the stone buildings is quite bold / saturated to compared to every other green. Unless you have a specific reason, I'd suggest pulling it back.
To be clear, I generally like it. Most of your colors are distinct, and nothing appears mucky to me. But it is those matters regarding the consistency of hue and saturation that should be tweaked up.
I just went and fixed a couple of the stairs. Some just come off that way in EZGBZ. Others I put on the wrong way.
I was thinking the same on the grass, but it was better than the alternative. I didn't like the pure white the tiles were giving off, and thought the green was far more appealing. At least in the immediate area. I did go back and change the very center part with the darker green grass to the lighter green style of the surrounding.
I think I have it tweaked back up fairly well now. I don't really wanna change much more though since I honestly want to just put together Skull Woods right now.
