New colours make the map both less legible and less readily identifiable as a Google product. I cannot understand what series of change-for-change's-sake decisions led to this change. It must be easy to implement a client-side colour scheme selector given embedded maps windows can still be configured to show the old colours. Forcing arbitrary change on users is never a good thing, especially when the changes in question are so widely disliked. Bring back the old colours.
