Hiking path routes colours and shields about organicmaps HOT 4 OPEN

I'd like to make this issue quite specific and limit it to applying the colouring from the Relation. In the screenshot above, some paths are green, others red, blue, yellow. These colours are marked on a Relation: Hiking Path. Often there are also shield colours there.

For example in the Czech Republic as mentioned here the hiking paths are physically marked, each having its own identifying color, so people can follow them without maps. Having these is a requirement for most ppl in CR as Mapy.cz has a good coverage.
