Why isnt Germany grey?

Grey shows really badly on the map, especially during winter, so we went with feldgrau which is a greenish grey and pretty associated with germany.

Unfortunately it is very similar to the colour of Hungary...

it looks fairly different up close, but yea we'll probably need to tweak hungary's shade

Why is the channel so huge?

So player/ai has more time to react to invasion. It needs to be this wide to fit in enough provinces, and provinces need to be a certain size to fit in ships.

Probably true, but the important difference will be how power points are acquired. Judging from the demo-video, a successful Hitler will actually have a lot of power points, but will also need to spend a lot to get the best ministers and tech teams. What annoys me about EU4 monarch points is the arbitrary nature in which they're gained, if your actions have a large impact on the amount of power points you gain then I'm actually looking forward to the new system. At any rate, best to reserve judgment until the dev diary is released. ;)

To clarify, there is nothing random about any of our "points/power/experience" currencies in HoI4. its all stuff you need to manage as a player and gained through playing well
