Entry 001: Might as well start using these

Natural Cover. A topic that is sometimes controversial in how it should be implemented, and other times a great boon for someone's mapping.

But, what I bring up today is that I think for purposes of map beautification there should be more colorings for different natural land uses. While I know this can be achieved it history mode, it would also be (unfeasibly) nice to have this in the standard OSM layer.

Why do I make this point? When doing rural farm areas, I thought it would look nicest with a multitude of different colors mixed in, while still having a land use related to farming (i.e. for Red I could always make a square a hospital grounds, but that just does not feel right using that space as farming.

Currently the only 4 colors I can find to use are Heath, Meadow, Farmland, and Orchard. I think it would be great to have 6+ different options.

Finally, regarding histor mode: It would be really great if Histor mode displayed Scree! Currently only default OSM does, and I plan to use scree a lot. While it looks rocky on the standard, its just a big blank patch along rivers in my state on Histor mode.
