Here is the screen image. They do not appear as bright.

Still too bright, though.  They're supposed to be stealthy, so bright is all wrong.

I also think it's got TOO much of a blueish tinge to it, doesn't look right and it contrasts too much with the ground.

Maybe the game is trying to tell me something since everytime I put the base into the file it turns the blues into a darkish gray ::).

Perhaps I should color it similiar to planet's soil with a grayish tinge?

maybe just darken enough that the whites turn unmistakably gray...

At the very least the base of the structures should be much closer to the ground color ingame.

I have to echo the others: too bright.

Could all of my art critics critiquers assemble a list of colors and their numbers from the palette.pcx file that you think might fit this base? Especially since I seem to be unable to find the correct shades for this base.

Could we have a screenshot with 'take 4' attempt ingame?
I only looked at those, and I just saw this take seems alot darker then the others (though my 'dirt' remark remains).

Would anyone help me by at least providing some suggestions for colors?
