Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Google Maps received a slightly altered color scheme as a limited test in August. It has been rolled out to a much wider audience this week, prompting complaints on Reddit and X. There is now a noticeable difference in the blue color for bodies of water. Compared to before, roads are now gray rather than white and forests are a darker green.
