<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the feedback about colors in JOSM. I can clearly see now that what made for good contrast in iD is hard to use in JOSM. I'll try some new styles today and make sure they stand out in both editors. I think maybe the answer is to put a casing around the line so that it has a different look even if the color is similar.<div>

The colour of the TIGER 2013 tracing layer is a bit too similar to the residential and secondary ways shown in JOSM. Would be nice if you could change the color to gray or white—a color that isn’t close to any colors used to visualize ways in JOSM.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
