have a night mode which displays everything in muted red, as this apparently does not affect the night sensitivity of eyes as much as other colours of light. I do not know how much of a practical difference this makes though.
Testing your suggestion using cloudmade's style editor. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3522/3915572190_984638cd9e.jpg Suggestions are welcome.
In a similar vein, I found that when developing night styles, that it was best to use as few solid colours for areas as possible, and as few bright colours as possible in order to limit the amount of light projected from the GPS unit. With too much light, in otherwise very dark surroundings, it would take a few seconds for my eyes to readjust after looking at the GPS unit.
