Tweaking the colours will mask the problem, not fix it, and it'll
still go wrong further down the line. The colour reduction on the
mapnik tiles is simply a Siren of the Greek Mythology type (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siren ) - it works well for most cases,
seems like a good idea, and then breaks down horribly.
