Darker mahogany leaves

[careeoki]

Mahogany leaves are very close in color to lush grass, which can make it hard to tell the ground from the leaves in the new jungle.

So I made them darker to help with this, you can see how it is a lot clearer and less like one big green blob.

Here's a greyscale comparison to see the values better:

Overall I think this is a positive change, we now have a greater diversity of leaf colours. The new mahogany sits nicely between willow and oak.

That's better!!

I'm not sure about this, to me the jungle feels colder now, maybe we could add contrast without sacrificing the warm colors?

Also I think you may have overcorrected for the lack of shadows here. Once we get shadows, you will see a difference between the leaves and the ground, as the leaves will be more exposed to sunlight.

Also I would like to point out that ones monitor has huge impact on perceived color and contrast, in a way that cannot be captured on a screenshot.
Out of two monitors I have, one presents everything significantly darker than the other (NT 250 cd/m2 vs IPS 300/350 cd/m2 is the main difference in my case). On the darker one the master jungle is kind of a green blob, but on the brighter one it is not.

At first glance I thought its fine change, but tbh the jungle leaves end up being quite dark now, not sure if that's good, I don't think there is a significant color difference between trees and ground level plants in the jungle. Jungle is in fack kind of a green mess:

(I guess lets ignore the fact that there isn't much flat grass in real jungle...)
