> I strongly urge you to rethink this approach. Whilst I do not oppose using different colours depending on the age of changesets, the fact that older changesets are no longer clickable, makes scanning an area which does not show high activity, really painful: Large changesets covering several countries or continents - which have always been a nuisance - cause relevant changesets to drop down in the list making it necessary to perform a well-adjusted scrolling manoeuvre constantly keeping an eye on the bounding box color before one is finally able to click on the desired bounding box.

Older changesets are clickable unless covered by those large nuisance chagesets when they are inside the sidebar viewport. I'm not sure if changesets that cover the entire map viewport should be hoverable/clickable, but on the other hand there has to be some indication that they are intersecting the map view.

There's also an opinion that [changesets outside of the sidebar viewport shouldn't be shown at all](https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/better-osm-org-a-script-that-adds-useful-little-things-to-osm-org/121670/105). In this case you wouldn't see any older changesets.

> Besides, for people with issues of color-blindness, orange and red are too similar. I can't tell them apart without looking very carefully.

Orange and orange are even more similar. And again there's an opinion about "color noise", that is colors being too different.
