[OSM-talk] New building colour

[Jóhannes Birgir Jensson]

The new color looks even worse in non-garden areas where the new 
building color vanishes into the residential area background.

Old and new colors in Kópavogur, Iceland:

Old color in Maun, Botswana:

New color in Maun Botswana:

This lack of contrast for the new color makes it harder to see 
buildings, the only thing it does is make the address stand out in the 
cases there is one at the highest zoom. For people with worse eyesight 
this makes the map much less accessible than before.
