That's got it. Thanks! So, is the point of being able to specify a color so you can re-use a single, neutral-color icon, and apply "tints" to it via the KML when it is rendered on a map?

Comparing the color of the pins on the left to those on the map shows a clear difference between the two. Your KML includes a colour changing element <Style id="ORANGE_POINT"> <IconStyle> <color>ff0080ff</color> <Icon><href>http://www..... See https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference#iconstyle "The color specified in the <color> element of <IconStyle> is blended with the color of the <Icon>" Your <color> will make the Orange icon more Red ... I wouldn't like to say if that colour caste is applied to the Maps-generated legend as well, but I'll bet it isn't. It certainly won't be applied if you just show the icon image in a regular webpage. Just remove the <color> elements from your <IconStyle>s. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
