Quest for selecting `colour` of `bench`es and `waste_basket`s

[Freso]

General

Affected tag(s) to be modified/added: colour=* Question asked: What is the colour of this bench/waste basket/…?

Checklist

Checklist for quest suggestions (see guidelines):

• [x] 🚧 To be added tag is established and has a useful purpose
• [x] 🤔 Any answer the user can give should have an equivalent tagging (SCEE quests may not be answerable in all cases, but please keep this rare)
• [x] 🐿️ A survey is necessary (may require knowledge of the subject, though easy answering for everyone is preferred)
• [x] 💤 Not an overwhelming percentage of quests have the same answer (No spam)
• [x] 🕓 Applies to a reasonable number of map data (Worth the effort)

Ideas for implementation

Element selection: Items with amenity=bench or amenity=waste_basket, possibly also for amenity=waste_disposal, amenity=lounger, amenity=chair, and/or leisure=picnic_table that do not already have a colour=* tag.

Metadata needed: I’m not aware of any per‐country metadata that might be required.

Proposed UI: Same as current "what colour is this" quests.

Using the roof / building color style should work. But for each item either a new icon has to be created, or a different color filter should be set. The current color filter needs specifically adapted base icons to work properly.

In the latter case, icons could simply be taken from the pin icons using getPinIcon, and possibly extended using the icons available in presetIconIndex.

To be added tag has a useful purpose

Why that?

Sorry. I was not clear: What is the useful purpose of mapping/asking color of waste baskets?

[Freso]

My immediate use is for being able to locate/identify them in the landscape, but could also potentially be used for rendering purposes.

Also potentially useful for visually impaired users, particularly where bins are next to each other? Dog waste bins near me are usually red or dark green, normal waste bins any dark colour.

I have a bag of dog poo and am unsure where to throw it. I found two bins, but can not see very good (waste bins all look the same, but I can recognize colors!), but my fancy OSM app tells me the dog waste bin is the green and not the black one. Hurray. Problem solved.
