Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Colours seem okay to me, they carry the message very well. I would try to make the "dots" less pixelated though, to make the colours look more natural and hand-applied maybe...? That is just a suggestion of course.
To make the map more interesting... Maybe you can add to the poisonous hemisphere some awful, dangerous monsters that are roaming that area? Some sea creatures in the ocean? It would certainly make the cultural statement about the unknown parts stronger...
