I don't know if "grace" is the proper term. The new pastel colors are fugly and the lower contrast makes it harder to read.

Yeah, it's really not a good look, litterally or figuratively, given the purpose of the app. Navigation needs to be plain and clear, otherwise people get hurt.

So far the new colour scheme and via Android Auto doesn't really bother me. However, didn't blow me away either. I think I figured it was basically a gimmick. I also think I first noticed it in my car about a week ago. On my tablet however, the new Google Maps layout for searches and directions sucks in landscape mode. Almost unusable.

I only noticed the better blue line and card at the top. I use Google Maps in Satellite mode. If I wanted boring I'd use Waze or Apple Maps.
