There is!  You just need to know how to do it.

That should be pretty straightforward. 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SomeoneElse/diary/391499 describes 
changing the colour for natural=heath.   A quick look at an OsmAnd 
default_render.xml that I had lying around has this in it:

     <!-- Forest -->
     <renderingAttribute name="woodColor">
         <case nightMode="true" attrColorValue="#192e33"/>
         <case attrColorValue="#87cc70"/>
     </renderingAttribute>
     <renderingAttribute name="forestColor">
         <case attrColorValue="$woodColor"/>
     </renderingAttribute>

so it looks like "forest" is defined as "the same colour as wood" and it 
should not be difficult  to change it to another colour instead.

Best Regards,

Andy
