    The new color looks even worse in non-garden areas where the new
    building color vanishes into the residential area background.<br>

    Old and new colors in Kópavogur, Iceland:

    Old color in Maun, Botswana:

    New color in Maun Botswana:

    This lack of contrast for the new color makes it harder to see
    buildings, the only thing it does is make the address stand out in
    the cases there is one at the highest zoom. For people with worse
    eyesight this makes the map much less accessible than before.<br>

          IMHO it is much better - on low zoom levels maps is now less
          cluttered <br>
          and on high zoom levels POIs are now more visible.<br>
