Thought I'd try making my mountains gray. What do you think?

No thanks... at least not that shade of grey.

I like it. Changes things up a bit and gives the tileset a fresh new feel. Now if you made the mountains blue...that would be beyond awesome.

They seem a little too silverish. Maybe a more natural gray?

They sort of look a little purple. They look fine, mountains are typically made of rocks, which are usually grey. But they look terrible in the lava screen. The color contrast with the lava.

The first ones are blue and the second are silver.
They would fit more if the first one were less blue and the second ones could be more purple but still grey. Grey doesn't mean each shade has to be fully grey.

I know that Gonken. I think it doesn't look as good as I would think is because the lack of detail in the mountains. If you recolor the DoR LTTP mountains, I think they would look a little better then the Pure mountains.

You know, this is gonna sound weird since I normally don't really like those mountain tiles... but I think grey actually suits them pretty well. I guess they could stand to be a bit less silverish, though. The lava screen does make them look a bit metallic.

Hm. Yeah, guess I failed to notice last night how blue they were. More like this, maybe?

They look much better than the ones you had before. Makes them look a lot like they are made of chalk, which would be more suited to the shoreline or oceanic in natural circumstances.

Yeah, I like the way they look in the lava screenshot. I don't know if they're the same palette in the grasslands one, or if it's just the way the colors look together, but it still seems a bit odd there. Then again, I've never seen grey cliffs done in that tileset before, so it might just be me.

Looking much better. I thought I'd try and tweak them just a little, see if I could squeeze a little more "life" out of them. Your lava palette was pretty good, so my alterations are pretty minimal there. Thoughts?

I also thought I'd try and clean up the whole fugly Pure palette a bit, make it look a bit more natural. You like?
