Presentation only. Nothing here touches Topography, the noise, or any generation constant; the renderer is handed a height field LOADED from a .f32 dump and has no way to produce one, so a look change provably cannot move the terrain. Hillshade: Horn 3x3, cell size 1, edges clamped (never wrapped — the Trench border is a wall, not a seam). ZExaggeration is required rather than optional: measured median land slope is 0.22 degrees unexaggerated, so the island shades as a flat plane. Chosen from a measured slope table — zex 75 gives 16/28/37 deg at land median/p90/p99, which reads as natural relief. It is a look dial; raw units are not metres and no code may read it as if they were. Palette: stops placed on the MEASURED height distribution, not spread linearly. Land is bottom-heavy (median 0.456, p99 1.113, max 1.415 over 8.6M land columns across four seeds), so a linear ramp would spend 99% of its range on 1% of the land and the map would read as green with a few white dots. Bathymetry is compressed by d/(d+0.35) so the shallow shelf gets the range and the featureless abyss flattens. Anchors are absolute and fixed across the batch — a map coloured on its own min/max cannot be compared with its neighbour, and comparison is the point of a batch. Blend: the naive tint x hillshade darkens everything by 29% before any slope is involved, because flat ground shades to sin(altitude). So shade is normalized by its flat-ground value first — flat terrain keeps its true tint and only SLOPE moves the colour — then shadows multiply while highlights screen toward white. That asymmetry is the difference between a colour ramp and a map you would frame. Relief fades to zero with depth below sea. Not only taste: the deep floor is the Trench, a synthetic wall whose gradient is ~1.5x the p99 land gradient, so shading it faithfully draws a bright rim around the map and lights the abyss with noise mottle. The fade puts relief on the near-shore shelf where the bathymetry is real. Three named looks (atlas / relief / dusk), gated like any other change and kept deliberately few — iteration fatigue on a subjective gate is a real failure mode. Each pair isolates one question. HeightMapRenderer.cs is retired: its raw I/O moved to HeightField.cs and its ramp to ReliefPalette.cs, so there is one palette everywhere and the generator's own quick-look is coloured identically to a beauty render. No biome words, no classification, no water. The 0.15 line is a colour boundary.
