[OSM-talk] Rendering power lines: black is beauty

[Steve Chilton]

One of the advantages of using greys and tonal variations of the road
fill colours for the casings of the roads is that it enables black
casings to be used exclusively for the bridge variants. I think that
using black casings for roads would NOT help improve readability as it
would make the text of road names more difficult to pick out and read.

Cheers

I'd also like you to use black for the borders of residential ways and
for the names of places and streets (instead of all these dirty greys).
Better contrast would improve readability.
