For the moment, the type of footway is only indicated in the descriptive panel.
I've just added a few that were missing, thank you :+1:
On a personal note, I don't like the idea of creating a new colour to display the ones that don't have yet a footway=* tag. In fact, the main aim of the tool is to visualize sidewalks, despite the different models that coexist. So the priority is rather to highlight areas where nothing is mapped, the breaks in pedestrian path continuity or even some kind of errors (e.g. foot=yes on a road, as is the case here for instance: https://jungle-bus.github.io/sidewalker/#19/48.79362/2.46079).
So I'd prefer to limit the number of colours to keep the display easy to understand and a trivial mapping objective: make the map greener !
That said, the need you mention still seems relevant to me and deserves to be evaluated. I'd like to hear other people's opinions on whether this feature is worth implementing, and to continue thinking about ergonomics so as not to lose sight of the initial objective.

FACT : It's quite difficult to see if there is already a tag to improve quality of mapping when a way has only highway=footway and not footway= and perticularly footway=.
SOLUTION : get more colours to let see when there are tags for each footway=sidewalk, crossing, access_aisle,traffic_island In case of only highway=footway the colour purrple could let see that it needs the tag footway=*.
