[WIP] Ground texture mod

nice job, my effort was about 20 mins, I would like to pop yours in the game when its ready ! this was what mine looked like for that test.

How would it look if the various greens and browns were taken directly from a photo? (using the photoshop colour grabber or whatever it's called)

pretty much the same. ingame shaders render what ever colour you pick irrelevant. its the association between all the colours that important. with my test i did i keep it as simple as possible, low range of colours, more consistancy over the pattern of the same colours. also less fields adjacent to different fields. some aspects of it have worked and some not. another aspect im particularly unhappy with is tree placement. so those light coloured fields need to be dark where there are trees. without knowing where trees are placed thats gona be a hard task. another aspect i take from this is that the range of colours the mottled effect on 1C textures destroys the feel of the field so more solid definitive field colour the better. 1 aspect of S.E england scenery is that its not all fields. if they had included a wild countryside tile the scenery in general would be better.

to be honest i just want to make a brand new scenery from scratch.

I sampled the colors from this picts

but, yes the result is not full convincing

Yeah, they look completely different to your one (not your fault, really)
The last sample to me screams summer, although a mix of all three would look awesome.
