[OSM-talk] New building colour

[Dave F.]

Hi

As has been pointed out, there was a discussion which all were invited 
to join in.

IMO (why do people use 'H' to say there opinion is honest? Surely all 
opinion is that?), the new appearance is better. As can be seen from 
Andreas image the building's numbers are much clearer, which is more 
worthwhile than viewing the exact, intricate outline of each residency.

The vast majority of these recent carto upgrades have been an 
improvement to OSM.

Use GitHub to suggest some others:

Cheers
