    After some frustrating attempts, I left the "natural color" project in the back burner and decided to go for pastel colors, based on height.

    I had this map from the Pyrenees to use as reference for some time, so I took the color scheme from it (but not its relationship with elevation, as my map has mountains way higher than the Pyrenees) and tried it. From start I knew I wasn't going to re-color all the original layers, just a few, so again it was a matter of trial and error until I got something I was happy with.
    The result was a very traditional looking map, definitely atlas-style, with rivers, lakes and shaded relief added to a basic height coloring.

    As before, this is a reduced version of the image I work on.
