I still don't like their tileset and as former posts said a lot of era levels are made from images. So honestly the more you dig into your era images folder youll find more useful tools for your pallet. But a good level still compliments images as well...being a former Era Levels Admin ages ago, hopefully these tips will help ya!
EYE PERCEPTION - Building levels in graal requires ONE very important thing -almost the most important. Perception. As graal has a fixed view you need to stay in the limits of that. On your roof tiles I marked you can either do one of two things. Shift the whole garage upwards 3 tiles or shift the back of the roof down 3 tiles. You want to keep a consistent eye perception in every level.
CONSISTENCY - When I look at this, it appears to be 1 building with juts and a second floor. In the Pink squares why not try making the 2nd square filled with straight roof tiles so it looks like a seamless line under the other accented juts.
Try taking out one tile in each white outlined section - Again its all about eye perception. If it doesn't look like try removing just one out of the left square.
DARK EDGES - Be weary...of where you use them. They can draw A LOT of attention in areas such as that. Dark edges also usually dignify where a player CAN'T walk over. But if used tastefully they can be used as boarders. The connection from the sidewalk to the "outline" of the driveway doesn't flow. Maybe try pushing the bushes over ontop of the left boarder? Just to see how it looks. Or switch the boarders so the black line is against the dark gray to dignify the dip in the driveway from the sidewalk.
DOOR FRAME - Again Doors look better with frames around them. It gives them a sense of being there. Also though - as the building it is part of you could just make the garage the width of the driveway or make it a 2 car garage as I know that's a set image. If you choose to keep it one I'd either frame the door or shrink the garage and driveway width.
Windows- I don't know if this is 100% your fault but Windows always look better with boarders. You can get away in some aspects without them like the window near the garage..But overall windows look better with boarders
