When we look further then we see lines such as: 
 a = "0_int", 255, 255, 0
 A = "0_ext", 255, 0, 0
 
The first letter identifies the type of road, lowercase stands for inside color, uppercase stands for outside color. The 3 numbers represent the color in RGB, 255,255,0 = yellow and 255,0,0 = red. We can see on the picture that the highway in the Karl scheme is yellow with a red line on the outside. Suppose we want to change the motorway color in a special green color, this color is 153,255,153. Now we change the lines to:
 a = "0_int", 153, 255, 153 (Innenfarbe)
 A = "0_ext", 255, 0, 0 (Ran dfarbe)
Road types: 
 a = motorway, autobahn 
 b = U roads, U- und Europastrasse (aber nicht Autobahn bzw Schnellstrasse)
 c = highway/federal highways, K-roads, bundesstrasse
 d = highways, large major roads, bundesstrasse
 e = road K and U, ausserort Verbindungsstrasse

 g = one-way streets, verbindungsweg
 h = side streets - city center, nebenstrasse in der Stadt
 i - r = ?
 s = highway, schnellstrasse
 u = unpaved roads, nicht asphaltiert
