Water color versus Layer background color

- Water color should not be so similar to the background color that you see when layers are removed. Both are a grey-ish color to me. They are different, but not enough. Lemme explain (and yes, I feel stupid about this). I had my layers tool activated earlier so I could see the bottom floor of the houses. The layers tool also removes the tops of mountains and shows that "background" color instead. It's the first time I've used the layers tool on purpose (hitting Alt+Tab to switch windows and coming back to a missing mountain doesn't count). Anyway, I start looking around for cows to tame and think to myself "there is VERY LITTLE land on this map! There is too much water!" Well, my dumb self had the layers tool on and saw the grey as water sources - because I know the water tends to show up grey. Granted, it didn't have the effects of water, but I wasn't thinking clearly at the time (see COFFEE, Pg 6). Now if the water were very blue and/or if the background (when layers are removed) was actually pitch black, I might not have gotten them confused. DERP for me!
