Does anyone know if there is a way to change the color of the new Google Maps markers in the Javascript v3 API without creating custom images? I want to use only official markers.
This is an old way to use custom colors, but the images are old: http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_letter&chld=%E2%80%A2|FE7569
I am trying to use new ones that look much cleaner, but I can only use the default color, and I need to use several colors:
They still use the old ones: http://maps.google.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/ms/micons/red-dot.png
I also do not see anything new on my badges page: https://sites.google.com/site/gmapsdevelopment/

Change So, far away, all that I found from the new colors are the following, which use png files to change the color of the marker itself, and not the text on the icon:
Here are some of them that I found

/orange-dot.png
/yellow-dot.png
/green-dot.png
/pink-dot.png
EDIT:
I doubt that you think new markers are another type of icon (notification in url & name = icons / spotlight). Besides what you found, I could only find one => spotlight-waypoint-blue.png https://mt.google.com/vt/icon?psize=20&font=fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf&color=ff330000&name=icons /spotlight/spotlight-waypoint-blue.png&ax=44&ay=48&scale=1&text=%E2%80%A2
It also seems that the Google Chart tool infographic is out of date here (developers.google.com/chart/infographics/). Since I could not find documentation from Google about what is the future for infographics, if I were you, I will stick to the old ones. And if you are paranoid like me, and worried that these icons may disappear later, you may want to copy to your own server to be sure.
