Google Maps Hot Pink

Google is testing using a hot pink font for the live time for when a place is busy or not. This is part of the old popular times feature, but Google is testing or launching a hot pink font to make it really noticeable.

This change was spotted by Claudia Tomina who posted about this on LinkedIn - she said, "Hot Pink "Live" Alerts: Busier than usual is designed to immediately catch your eye with the new hot pink color."

Here are those screenshots side-by-side:
