Land colour, simplified

Each coarse Web Mercator cell is clipped to land and snapped to an existing Fotoshi land fill. It fades from z7 to the normal Fotoshi basemap at z8.

Source verdict

This first pass used one MODIS true-colour day. It proves the visual layer, but cloud and swath artefacts make it unsuitable as a production colour source.

Recommended production input

Replace daily imagery with ESA WorldCover / Copernicus-derived classes, map them directly to the same palette, and draw Planetiler roads, labels and detailed geometry above this layer at higher zooms.
