Why not black? It gives good contrast.
I for one would try to colorize the ocean in a light blue or something so that one clearly sees the land/water divide.
If black is too dark for you, how about something like dark-grey or maybe something brown. I don't think something more colorful is the way to go (like green etc. ). Land can totally have the same color as the mountains imo.

Still I reach out for the Stars
I thought about it today and I do think black could be a better choice than blue. The only problem and the main reason I didn't want to use it in the first place because the labels are in black and it's possible things might get a bit lost with black coast line and black labels. I don't have access to a scanner so trying to do digital labels won't work.
Right now I'm doing a 1st draft of a map that I've already done but it's getting a significant make over so I will definitely try black ink.
