IMHO, the coordinat grid is realy mast be as dim as it possible, may be, gray. Also I think, the constellation borders (dashed) also mast be dim, may be, also light gray? Constellation figures and names - light green. Big nebulas are blue - is normal. Milky way - light blue (or dashed blue). Galaxies, smll nebulas, open and globular clusters must be black contured. So, it is normal to colorise all the additional info, and leave in b/w the main objects of the map - stars, DSO-s, and labels for good visibility in the field. The colors must be "clear" - red, blue, green, and black and the dashed/dimed variants of the main 4 colors (light green, light red, light blue, gray) to maximise the resolution and the quality of the prints. Color combinations will make the objects more diffuse, not sharp. Yes, red color is not good for the night observation! -------------------- Clear skies!
