Description

I happened to notice that the buildings in the "mapbox.mapbox-3dbuildings-v1-meshopt" layer are displayed in their true colors, which makes the visualization look much richer. By default, however, they appear in a uniform color.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the standard style and comparing its building appearance with the mapbox.mapbox-3dbuildings-v1-meshopt layer shown in the issue images. Trace how building colors are selected in the standard style and determine the intended option boundary. Done means the standard style can optionally display buildings in their actual colors without changing its default uniform appearance.
