title: Changing Color of New Google Markers (Google JS API v3)
body: <p>Does anyone know if there is a way to change the color of the <strong>new</strong> Google Maps markers in the Javascript v3 API without creating custom images? I only want to use official markers.</p>
  
  <p>This is the old way to use custom colors but the images are old: <a href="http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_letter&amp;chld=%E2%80%A2|FE7569" rel="noreferrer">http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_letter&amp;chld=%E2%80%A2|FE7569</a></p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3Y2Fk.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to use the new ones which look much cleaner but I can only use the default color and I need to use multiple colors:</p>

  <p>These are still using old too:

  <p>I also don't see anything new on their icons page: <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/gmapsdevelopment/" rel="noreferrer">https://sites.google.com/site/gmapsdevelopment/</a></p>
  
  <p>--</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong>: So, far all I've found of the new colors is the following which are using png files to change the color of the marker itself not the text on the icon:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Default red: <a href="https://mt.google.com/vt/icon?psize=20&amp;font=fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf&amp;color=ff330000&amp;name=icons/spotlight/spotlight-waypoint-b.png&amp;ax=44&amp;ay=48&amp;scale=1&amp;text=%E2%80%A2" rel="noreferrer">https://mt.google.com/vt/icon?psize=20&amp;font=fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf&amp;color=ff330000&amp;name=icons/spotlight/spotlight-waypoint-b.png&amp;ax=44&amp;ay=48&amp;scale=1&amp;text=%E2%80%A2</a></li>
  <li>Green: <a href="https://mt.google.com/vt/icon?psize=20&amp;font=fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf&amp;color=ff330000&amp;name=icons/spotlight/spotlight-waypoint-a.png&amp;ax=44&amp;ay=48&amp;scale=1&amp;text=%E2%80%A2" rel="noreferrer">https://mt.google.com/vt/icon?psize=20&amp;font=fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf&amp;color=ff330000&amp;name=icons/spotlight/spotlight-waypoint-a.png&amp;ax=44&amp;ay=48&amp;scale=1&amp;text=%E2%80%A2</a></li>
  </ul>
