After some play with color-slope texturing in GIMP on other maps, I wanted to experiment with a full-spectrum colormap, something that would give every height step a different color. Aetherian seemed like as good of a candidate as any since the texture was unsatisfactory and hard to read.



It didn't entirely work as I hoped, you can only see all the colors when directly over the mountains at a 90deg camera angle.





Still an improvement
