[OSM-talk] Request for feedback: new building colours in openstreetmap-carto

[Paul Williams]

Unfortunately I don't think the proposed building colour works at all well
within residential or industrial landuse areas - the landuse colour seems
to be too prominent compared with the building colour, and I don't think
the yellowy brown colour looks nice against the background colour. I think
the buildings in OSM are one of our greatest features and though they
should perhaps be a little lighter than in the current style I think that
on the main map we should try to show off some of our level of detail
compared with other online maps! I liked a previous building style in which
buildings tagged as building=house and other residential tags were shown in
a lighter shade - now this is only used for building=garage.

Cheers.
