    mid latitude land colors
    brown = 133 115 65
    green = 49 86 0

    arctic land colors
    brown = 134 112 54
    brown green = 110 105 74

    I'm actually using plasma 2 with 2 colors to get mostly everything. The coastal shape is difference clouds and the sunshine is desaturated hurl noise. The rest is plasma 2.

    Actually I am not concentrating too much on the land at the moment. Later I want to give as much emphasis on different land pattern (arctic, desert, plains, ect) as I am giving the oceans now.

    Some useful cartography facts:
    Circumference (C) of the Earth is about 25,000 miles or 40,000 km.
    Highest point on Earth is 5.5 miles (8.9 km) above sea level (ASL/BSL).
    Lowest point of land on Earth is 1/4 mile (0.4 km) BSL.
    Lowest elevation in the ocean is 6.8 miles (10.9 km) BSL.

    And our solar system:
    C of Jupiter = 279,118 miles (449,197 km).
    Highest mountain is Olympus Mons on Mars. It is 16 miles high (24 km) and is the size of Arizona.
