A New WMATA Potomac River Blue?
Is that a new blue? Tell, me do you think WMATA has changed the Potomac blue on their maps?
If you look at earlier photos, the Potomac River is a different shade of blue, darker and more bland. Yet, on special maps, the blue is also light and bright, like the map in this photo.
Could this be a new, permanent blue for the Potomac River on Metrorail maps? Did you notice? Do you care? And if you did and do, what do you think? (Besides my need to get a transit foamer-free life.)
Can the brighter blue be a sign of something fun and new for the Potomac? Like maybe hermaphrodite bass?

It's really bright, but I kind of like. Along with the light green patches for the parks, it really gives a sense of where the stops are in relation to the city's geography.
My guess is that this is another color tweak to improve the overall map after the blue line was changed from its original 1970's blue color to the darker blue it is today. The water blue is now a lot closer to the original blue line color, which of course wouldn't have worked before the blue line color change.
