Sorry for the cross-post mate, I thought perhaps I had raised a dead thread over in Soartex. I personally like the difference that the Savannah biome provides with the yellow-brown grass and leaves - definitely gives an African plains look and feel, which the biome was created to replicate.
The current green-ness in Soartex makes it look quite lush, when in fact it is considered an arid biome for bees and has Acacia trees which are also a species that grow in arid climates.
I think these (vanilla) images give a good feel for the biome:
