This is a guideline for “background colors” in Map Creation – with image examples of the different in-game Themes.
 
 

Examples from the pre-existing developer-made Buildings for the different Themes

When the developers made backgrounds for their buildings, it seems like they used colors that were very close to the sky colors in the corresponding theme.
 
 
Here are some screenshots, to give you an idea of what techniques you might try to emulate and apply to your own map creation:
 
 
Rainforest
 
 

 
Downtown
 
 

 
Frontier
 
 

 
Motherland
 
 

 
Countryside
 
 

 
Orient
 
 

 
Liberation
 
 

 
Fort Mode
 
 

 
Wormhole
 
 

 
Brimstone
 
 

 
 
It’s important to remember that these are just examples –
 
experiment with whatever you think might be good for your map!
 
 
But remember to try to make it obvious to the player which parts of your building are solid, and which parts aren’t.
