This is what I used

 

 

Except my paper doesn't quite look like that, I really turn down the yellowing/burnt stuff:

Still very much wip. Only have Cuba, Inagua's, and Jamaica for the most part complete. Most of the rest of the map still needs major work.

So I started out with the above Tutorial, then I made my land a layer with color #00251f and the layer Soft Light. Shallows are color #3d4f66 on overlay. The dark line highlighting/marking off(?) the land on the edge of the coast is the shallows overlayed.
