Terrain Rendering
 
Mountain (Top) Highlights & Shadows
The colors that are used to paint mountains. There are two distinct colors for the (top left) highlighted and the (bottom right) shadowed side of moutians. The exact color for one pixel of a moutain is computed between the top and normal color value according to its elevation. The top and the normal color specify only the range of colors to use.

Highlands & Plaines
The colors for the more flat parts of the terrain.

Coast Line
The color of the coast line, the line that separates land areas from sea areas.

Highlight Coast
Only when this option is selected, a coast line is drawn. Otherwiese the plains are not separated from the off shore sea.

Off SHore / Sea / Deep Sea / Very Deep Sea
The colors that are used to paint sea areas. Depending on the "deepness" (negative elevation below ground zero) one of the four colors is used.
