📋 About This Mod
A Less Yellow Stardew
Lately I've been working on changing the dirt across all seasons from yellow to brown, but then I noticed once doing so that a lot of other things looked too bright and yellow (and sometimes purple) once that was done... and before I knew it I had edited the textures of a few other things as well.
I've created three different shades of dirt, for those that don't want to have the ground particularly dark. There are also different kinds of grass if the default is too bright for your monitor.
