Color, and particularly a grayish rainbow, is IMHO the wrong tool to give a 
sense of longitude/latitude.  It's like using a 64bit integer to represent a 
boolean value.

I would put *few* *discrete* (e.g. plain yellow) markers at a few significant 
visible lon/lat crossings.

Title:
  Color of fast preview grid

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
  New

Bug description:
  The grid in the current fast preview is IMHO too thick and too
  colorful.  This has no other apparent purpose than making it visible
  against all possible backgrounds.

  I would like to see the grid thinner (one pixel width) and either
  single color with a color palette choice and default setting; or same
  as the lines that delineate the crop.

  At the same time, the background color could use a color palette
  choice and a default setting as well.
