What's the meaning of these coloring?
If there's any I would suggest to tag according to meaning instead of
according to colors.
If the mapping color<>meaning isn't standardized, I would even more
suggest to tag the meaning, but document in more detail (=> with local
references).
as far as i can tell, the purpose is visibility and the colors are not
standardized.
the use case for the data is that firefighters arrive on a scene in an
unfamiliar area, bring
up an openfiremap like application on a tablet, and see where the
hydrants are and what
color they are. being an unfamiliar area they may not know what color to
look for, and
sometimes jurisdictions have changed color schemes and not gone back and
repainted older
hydrants.
