Actually, a good starting point for a UK style would be the old
Carto style before it was internationalised to match the road
colour conventions adopted by Bing and Google.

<p>Here's one I made earlier:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=15&lat=-24.99956&lon=135.02943">https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=15&lat=-24.99956&lon=135.02943</a></p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>That started off as OSM Carto in 2014. I have made two major
colour changes since then:</p>
<ul>
<li>Changed trunk roads from green to "primary red with a darker
red casing" so that you can see them when they go through trees,
which was a major issue with 2014 OSM.<br>
</li>
<li>Changed bridleways from green to blue for the same reason.</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition to that lots of extra stuff was added like "has this
road got a sidewalk / verge, is it on an embankment, does it run
through a long ford" etc.</p>
<p>You could changed trunk roads back to OS green, but you'd have to
change woodland to a lighter green (like OS have) and not show
other "green OSM things" (which OS don't).<br>

<blockquote type="cite">* as an example, map.atownsend.org.uk
costs me < £20 per month, so if you split the monthly
running cost between a few people it's less than the price
of a beer at a monthly OSM meetup.

What hardware (or VM) spec is that running on?
<br>
</blockquote>
A Hetzner CX41 (see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.hetzner.com/cloud">https://www.hetzner.com/cloud</a> ). If you
wanted to pay a bit less a CX31, would probably work for just GB
or UK.

I presume that memory is the key, here?
<br>
</blockquote>
<p>For either OSM Carto or my style for GB I suspect you'd struggle
now with <8GB memory. Scotland loads in 4, but that's much
smaller. The files associated with the database server for my
style for GB and IE* are currently 61GB (that starts small and
grows until you reload it), and there are 6GB of tiles in the
cache.</p>
<p>I suspect that an OSM Carto database (either now or in 2014)
would be a bit smaller than for my style because it renders fewer
things, but not much so.</p>
