you know how there is a palette.bmp in base.rte?
well, there is a SECOND palette for scenes. You can't find the actual palette, but if you open an existing scene with certain graphics programs (eg, photoshop, graphicsgale, gimp and others I cant remember right now) you can see the palette.
There are basically 5 different colors that you use, each one corresponds to a certain texture. The light brown/tan color is the light colored dirt. The darker colored brown is the rocky dirt, the darkest brown is the brown rock, and the other brown that looks a lot like the second one is the topsoil. Use pink for backgrounds.
There is also a dark purple that can be used for making caves and such.

I hope this has clarified the whole scene thing for you.
