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: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vo7pyhsuciqlppq/z16.png?dl=0 Old color in Maun, Botswana: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x0uj6bw1gp4nhnk/z17.png?dl=0 New color in Maun Botswana: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xefn33ckwul7eie/z18.png?dl=0

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.

Note that there was "Request for feedback: new building colours
in openstreetmap-carto" thread before this change was made.

IMHO it is much better - on low zoom levels maps is now less cluttered
and on high zoom levels POIs are now more visible.

    Hi!

    The old building colour looks much better than the new one, IMHO:

    Especially in "garden districts".
