Hello,
I am suggesting darker tone for green hiking routes.
Current color is little difficult to see on green background especially in some difficult light conditions - like full sun.
Thank you.

@vshcherb , @xmd5a2 It's not limited to green, also blue is affected, like the naval routes on water bodies.

The root cause is actually our practice in some map styles, prominently the OsmAnd default style, to use very intense colors for areal features which occur frequently and in large sizes, like intense shades of green for all vegetation, and a rather intense blue for water bodies.

It would be best practice, and perhaps a good fix here, if we used more pastel (paler) coloring for standard big areal features, which would leave the intense colors to stand out more for things which actually need more emphasizing, like e.g. highways/ways/route lines during navigation, user-selected features or overlays, smaller features otherwise hard to spot, etc. If we already spend the "intensity card" to display large backgrounds not currently needing to be highlighted, we waste that flexibility and reserve which could produce a more purpose-fit map view.

Compare e.g. the "OsmAnd default" with the "Touring view" color concept:
