As an active participant in the discussion (mostly advocating for 
tertiary to be colored) I have to say that "in depth" doesn't really 
describe how the decision was taken regarding tertiary color. The answer 
to that was basically "just because".

Some of these changes were purely arbitrary, not based on a deep 
scientific study, data crunching or otherwise scientific methods. 
Arbitrary changes really need to prove themselves, and so far this one 
at least hasn't (expanding width and decoloring tertiary).
