I recomend that you have at least 4 shades of the color for each thing you are trying to represent.

Now, continuing on with the whole, parent/child thing, you can continue adding on different shades of colors. right now its just a green with a grey, not that impresive. When you render it, you should see a green color over a light color for rock. on the surface map controls (under controls section) mess around with the controls untill you get it like you want. Than, you create a child layer for grass, lets say a green. So you have your parent layer, lets say a basic rock, which would be shaded a light gray. Think of it like this, The child layer always needs a parent layer to be around, kind of like in real life. Now, first of all i will explain the Child/Parrent layers. without one, yours will just look like gray mountains, which, is not very atractive. Surface map: the Surface map is a very important part of each landscape. So, now that you know the basic controls, i can help you out in making your landscape look good :) i'll break it down into different parts here.
