For gradual evelations desaturate the colors, then slide the briteness/contrast scale to softly muted shades of gray. Finally set your 256x256 pixel RGB terrain and water to the proper height in the startup_commands.txt file, saying something like: terrain load gulligans_island.png terrain lower 80 if you still need to make subtle changes, in the server console type: 'terrain help' for such things as elevate, load-tile, save, multiply, revert, or new brushes.
