One bounded alternative

Natural Earth geography, remapped only to Fotoshi’s existing material palette. It is not a production style and makes no land-cover claims.

What this tests

Grass #82BC62 is the default land green. Forest remains the deeper Fotoshi green.
Physical desert polygons are warm sand; Greenland and Antarctica use Fotoshi ice blue-white.
Natural Earth’s own coastline and water pixels are retained, with water remapped to Fotoshi basemap blue.

Archive scope

This page loads Natural Earth’s native raster pyramid. The source is 21,600px wide: about z6-equivalent detail at the equator. z7–8 are source upscaling, so this study is deliberately hidden from z8 onward rather than pretending it has higher-resolution detail.

Source colour guide

Representative Natural Earth families from a 1-in-8 sample. Each anchor expands to a small Fotoshi-compatible tonal set, preserving the source’s local variation rather than flattening it.
