I don't think a realistic look works for Minecraft. I preffer a more cartoony look for a game that has squidward for villagers, items unrealisticly organized into blocks, and paranormal dimensions.
That's why I would preffer Minecraft to have the grass and leaf colors like in 1.7.3. I guess the swamp biomes are OK, but it wouldn't hurt to make them slightly brighter.
Ok, want realism and be unable to go to mountains and such? Do not play Minecraft. Or better, stop playing games.
This took the words right out of my mouth...
Scott and Captain Oates would disagree.
Try 64m above sea level, as that is the height limit.

Indeed, Beta green was my favorite grass color as well...
