PATRON POLL! which colour palette do you prefer?

Hi all, its time for a poll!

I've been using the standard topographical palette for years, pretty much since the start of the Atlas project. this is the same palette you will likely come across on wikipedia pages and other creative commons licences across the internet.

However... I've been enamoured (as much a one can be enamoured with the map colours :) ) with the palette used by the Pergamon World Atlas 1968, which uses more reds and pinks.

I'm wondering what you all think about this?

Which do you prefer?

I can easily update the palette on existing maps (though it may take a while to upload new versions of previously-posted maps in the new colours (should that option win).

let me know what you all think :)
