i baked them at 140 degrees celsius for about 25 minutes and they still turned out like that! is it the humidity? or is it just undercooked still?

They look a bit undercooked, yeah. Do they feel really soft? Or do they have a crisp exterior? Are you using a silicon mat? If so, I find it helpful to bake about 10 degrees higher than when I use parchment paper

Mine usually look like this and they turn out quite okay.

Another minute or two would firm up those bottoms! What did you bake them at?

They look undercooked, probably chewier than you would prefer. They probably feel a bit heavy and moist.
I will say that is the lowest temp I’ve seen someone use, which also means a pretty long bake time.
That’s 284F which seems quite low. I’d bump that up to 300F(148C) and try a little less time. Check them at like 17min might need 20.

Matcha flavored? Matcha or cocoa powder will affect it, making macaron more gummy. But in conventional oven, I usually bake in much higher temperature. Preheat to 175C and turn knob slightly to LOWER temperature by 3-5C. Bake for 12min.
Another oven baked at 180C for 8 min.
If they crack after raising temperature, let them dry more. Your relative humidity needs to be lower than 65% to dry naturally/fan or hair dryer.
