I am happy to announce that after a long time we, the OpenStreetMap Carto maintainers, have prepared a new release of the OpenStreetMap Carto stylesheet (the default stylesheet on the OSM website). Once changes are deployed on openstreetmap.org it will take couple of days before all tiles show the new rendering.
Here are some details on the visible changes this release brings to the style.
Changing color of https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure=pitch to be more distinct and less similar to the water color
The color of https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure=pitch had a long time ago be adjusted to be less strong. But this change had resulted in pitches often being hard to distinguish in the map from water areas and other green areas even though pitches are a highly distinctive feature that is typically small in size - which calls for a strong color in principle. This modification changes the color of https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure=pitch to be more distinct and recognizable again and at the same time to harmonically integrate with the other colors used.
