Okay this doesn‘t matter that much, but why is Australia‘s color so weird, like the other British territories are lighter, but it is so much darker! Can someone explain why?

Actually, Africa and Canada and India appear darker. The color difference is due to the fact that the artists wanted them to look like an actual physical world map; ie mountains are shown

Is that why Algeria and Libya kind of brown and dirty too?
