Colour a single landmark

All guides

Most landmarks look after their own colour by belonging to a group, but you can override any single landmark. The Pin colour sets the fill of its pin and its map area, and the Style swaps in a fill style from your Styles tab — both just for that one spot.

Set a pin colour

  1. Open the landmark

    In the Landmarks tab, click the landmark to expand its fields.

  2. Use the Pin colour picker

    Click the colour swatch, choose a colour (or paste a hex value like #6523d0), and the pin and its area update in the preview.

  3. Clear to inherit

    Press the × on the colour picker to leave it blank — the landmark then falls back to its group's colour, and if that's blank too, to no colour.

The colour order is simple: the landmark's own colour wins; if it's blank, the first group's colour is used; if that's blank, no colour is applied (the swatch shows white in the list).

Override the fill style

The Style dropdown lets a landmark's map area use a different fill style from the ones defined on your Styles tab — a pattern, outline or opacity treatment — instead of the map's default style. Choose (No style) to keep the default.

Colour a whole group instead

If you want several landmarks to share a colour, it's usually easier to colour their group once (on the Groups/Categories tab) and leave each landmark's Pin colour blank. Reserve per-landmark colours for the exceptions you want to stand out.

Colour and style change only how the landmark looks — they don't affect search, directory listing or directions. Use the Hide options for visibility, and the Marker picker for the pin's shape and size.
