Thanks again for all your investigative work. I think you're right - with '0x' Google just expects an 8-digit hexidecimal. I'm not so sure that all hues are not possible though - the characters between the initial 'F' and the trailing '00' can be anything... and since the number expected is a 'pure hue', any number combination between 0~360 is possible. yet how to formulate this into code... a lost cause really, might as well just use 'pure hue' input (number between 0~360) right off the bat.
As for the 'switch' detected earlier... I think google is expecting a hexidecimal mix that, when converted to a decimal number, ~results~ in a number nine digits or more - this is always the case when using the '0xFxxxxx00' formula. If there are less, then some part of their code 'breaks', namely the part that applies the colour chosen to labels. Consider the difference between, for the 'road' element (option 'all'), '0xF00000' and '0xF0000000': the first colour, magenta, is applied to roads, but the signs are of different colours, while the second colours all 'road' elements in the same tone of blue with only differences in lightness and/or saturation. I think we have taken this far enough - the google code will evolve eventually, and the 'pure hue' input, a major discovery, will suffice to style tiles for all systems and supports. Thank you so much for your help in this - If we don't speak again before, I'll let you know when everything is ready to go. Cheers!
