I feel that the current terrain colours are too tiring for the eyes.
So I tried to adjust them lowering saturation, while still comparing with real pictures of the Earth. Changes affected sea, grass and plains.
I wanted to know your opinion before proceeding to the change, although it's just a minor tweak.
What do you think?

Only the sea appears different. I like the second on,e though
 
I can see differences in each; the greens aren't as bright in the second. And I also prefer the second one, as it really made things look more realistic to me.
 
I think the ocean is an improvement in the second but if it were me I'd keep the original saturation for the land, it just isn't the right colour for grass. But, it doesn't seem like most people can notice it.
 
I much profere the second one as it looks less bright and shiny, and I can notice the difference on the ground tiles as well as the sea ;). The sea does look deeper too.

p.s. My girlfriend likes the first one better though, so I vote once each way ;)
 
It's hard to see the difference, but I do prefer the darker second ones. One problem I have though is when I'm on the ocean, it's hard to tell the fog of war with unexplored areas. Could something be done about that?
