I enjoy 47.05, I'd like to see if it's possible to change the layer "fog" from teal to maybe black or a dark green. I often play df in a dark room and go so far as to build and mine out dark layer colors to aid my eyes for lengthy sessions. The teal layer 'fog' can strain the eyes on a bright monitor.

Yes, you can customize that in d_init.txt:

Code: [Select]

This controls the display of areas that are far below outside.  The format is SKY:<character>:<foreground color>:<background color>:<brightness>.  The <character> can be either an ASCII tile number or a character in quotes, like '#'.

[SKY:178:3:0:0]

Ah yes, thank you, sir. I very much enjoy a [SKY:178:0:0:0] ATM. I have a vague understanding of what these values due from the description here and some trial and error but, is there some other more in depth documentation for editing these values specifically that you may know of?

Not specifically, but these two wiki pages detail what each value will get you

Instead of changing the sky color to Black, you could also change the character to either 177 or 176 to "thin" it out:
Compare (set the forum to Dark mode for optimal viewing):

• 178: ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
  
• 177: ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
  
• 176: ░░░░░░░░

That's a great idea! I'll give this a go as well.
