The color scheme is fine, the issue is just how the colors are used, it's a bit noisy and the height levels sorta blend together. I think the problem would be solved if you found a better way to distinguish the top height level, it's what looks most similar to the lowground and creates the visual confusion. I would probably try a composition of darker panel textures, like the dark panels from skygeirr or korhal platforms. Otherwise, it actually looks pretty good, pretty nicely polished.

Aside from aesthetics, this map has plenty of things that I would like to know more about :

- 14 bases : what lead you to choose to go for so many bases? what would happen if you had the 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock (4 o'clock and 5 respectively) become just one base? What do you want to happen in a 7base vs 7 bases split map scenario?

- center of the map in late game : 3rd seems easy to take and defend, as well as the 4th (at least on a reasonnable fashion) which prolly means you wanted your map to favor macro games. Well I can get behind this, but what I don't see yet is how things will go in a 5 base max supply max upgrade late game situation.... The center of the map seems a bit messy with not a lot of space to set up a good engament with concave and multipronged attack. How would one defend against a Protoss deathball here? or against a fully maxed mech army? Can one totally turtle up and make the game go for 2 hours? I m not saying these strat would be imba on the map, just that it may require some testing. The movement of armies in late game scenarios might be not as enjoyable as you whished.

- IMHO (but I m just a scrub and unable to make maps) you need to rethink the scenario of your standard game happening on this map, like what happens when both players have their 4th, what postion they would want to take, where would they want to move their armies, where would they clash, what strategical points will they have to gain control on...

Hope my remarks made sense and were helpfull enough...

I've put much thought and testing in this, and I hope my answers earlier fill any questions you have and understand the design process of this map.
