I will get a page on the web you can see. In the mean time, interestingly, I pasted the KML into the search bar at maps.google.com:
http://www.mge.com/MyAccount/outage/datafiles/MGEOutageMap_ColorShapes3.kml Comparing the color of the pins on the left to those on the map shows a clear difference between the two. Yet, the legend and the map are pulling the URL of the marker from the exact same location, are they not?

One guess is that there is some transparency used in one of the two cases but not the other. Do you have a test page that shows this effect in action? I'd be curious to take a look at it. Even a screenshot would be somewhat helpful, to see the actual colors in question. Which one has the actual correct color of your image: the marker on the map or in the web page content? Here's a good tool to look at stuff on the screen: http://gipsysoft.com/zoomplus/ It lets you zoom in to see individual pixels, and if you roll the mouse around it will show you the color value under the mouse pointer, in either hex or RGB format. (Right click the titlebar and select the format from the Options dialog.) -Mike On Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 12:42 PM, JFrancis <jfran...@mge.com> wrote: Has anyone else noticed a shift in the color of a marker when placed on a map, and the same image when it is inserted onto a web page? I'm looking at a map where I have several makers of different colors next to a "legend" describing each of the markers, and the markers on the map are decidedly darker than the ones in the legend, the point where my orange marker almost looks red! I am using PNGs for the markers; should I be using GIFs instead? JF -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
