How do I change the color of a marker on Google Maps?

To edit the marker color, click or tap on the marker icon. When you do that, you can change both the color of the marker and its style. Go for the color or style you want to change and then click OK to see the effect. Click on the button labeled Done to save your new marker color settings.

What do the different color markers mean on Google Maps?

Food and drink is now colored orange; shopping remains blue; pink is health; seafoam green is entertainment and leisure; green is for outdoor; and lighter blue is for transport.


My goal is to change the color of the nice looking default google maps marker. Therefore, I'm looking for the path / shape of the default (red) one. I've found this to change to color:

function pinSymbol(color) {
    return {
        path: '???' 
        fillColor: color,
        fillOpacity: 1,
        strokeColor: '#000',
        strokeWeight: 2,
        scale: 1
    };
}

So, by invoking the function, I would like to change the color (e.g. icon: pinSymbol("#666"). However, I don't know where to find the path? I'm not looking for the v2 / plain marker!
