The humanitarian style uses a good compromize to represent the hierarchy of
roads. The blue is replaced by a violet color. This maitains a larger color
palette to represent the hierarchy of roads.
And, importantly, the yellow color is kept for tertiary roads. I also think
that it is important to color the tertiary roads to show a good hierarchy of
roads in rural areas.

I'm fairly certain that the rural regions of the world are not a "niche"
but where we are sorely lacking in data and where our growth in Africa
(for example) will come. Having done data quality checks on settlements
of the world thousands of them are still just a name on the map with no
road connections and there tertiary roads will be needed to go.
I'm not averse to red/yellow taking over personally but the expense is
too great for me at the moment. We need to find a way to make tertiary
still recognizable.
