+## Description
+
+When integrating a [Map for Blazor](slug://components/map/layers), you might want to customize the appearance of your map markers to differentiate them or match your application's theme. This knowledge base article also answers the following questions:
+
+- How can I set the color of a map marker in Blazor?
+- How to change the color of specific map markers based on their titles?
+- How to apply custom styles to map markers in a Blazor application?
+
+## Solution
+
+To customize the color of map markers in a Blazor application, you can [override the default theme styles](slug://themes-override).
+
+### Change the Color to All Map Markers
+
+To change the color for all markers use the following CSS approach:
+
+<div class="skip-repl"></div>
+````RAZOR
+<TelerikMap Class="my-map">
+    <!-- Map configuration -->
+</TelerikMap>
+
+<style>
+    .my-map.k-map .k-marker {
+        color: blue;
+    }
+</style>
+````
+
+### Customize Specific Markers
+
+To change the color of specific markers, target them based on their titles using CSS. Check the runnable example below:
+
+````RAZOR
+<TelerikMap Center="@Center" Zoom="3" Class="my-map">
+    <MapLayers>
+        <MapLayer Type="@MapLayersType.Marker"
+                  Data="@MarkerData"
+                  LocationField="@nameof(MarkerModel.LatLng)"
+                  TitleField="@nameof(MarkerModel.Title)">
+        </MapLayer>
+        <MapLayer Type="@MapLayersType.Tile"
+                  Attribution="@Attribution"
+                  Subdomains="@Subdomains"
+                  UrlTemplate="@UrlTemplate">
+        </MapLayer>
+        <MapLayer Type="@MapLayersType.Marker"
+                  Data="@MarkerData"
+                  LocationField="@nameof(MarkerModel.LatLng)"
+                  TitleField="@nameof(MarkerModel.Title)">
+        </MapLayer>
+    </MapLayers>
+</TelerikMap>
+
+<style>
+/* The first line is for the default marker style. The second one is for the hover state. */
+@foreach (MarkerModel marker in MarkerData)
+{
+    <text>
+    .my-map .k-marker[title="@marker.Title"],
+    .my-map .k-marker[data-title="@marker.Title"] {
+        color: @marker.Color;
+    }
+    </text>
+}
+</style>
+
+@code {
+    private string[] Subdomains { get; set; } = new string[] { "a", "b", "c" };
+    private string UrlTemplate { get; set; } = "https://#= subdomain #.tile.openstreetmap.org/#= zoom #/#= x #/#= y #.png";
+    private string Attribution { get; set; } = "&copy; <a href='https://osm.org/copyright'>OpenStreetMap contributors</a>";
+    private double[] Center { get; set; } = new double[] { 30.268107, -97.744821 };
+
+    private List<MarkerModel> MarkerData { get; set; } = new List<MarkerModel>()
+    {
+        new MarkerModel()
+        {
+            LatLng = new double[] { 30.268107, -97.744821 },
+            Title = "Austin, TX",
+            Color = "#008000"
+        },
+        new MarkerModel()
+        {
+            LatLng = new double[] { 37.7749, -122.4194 },
+            Title = "San Francisco, CA",
+            Color = "#0000FF"
+        }
+    };
+
+    public class MarkerModel
+    {
+        public double[]? LatLng { get; set; }
+        public string Title { get; set; } = null!;
+        public string Color { get; set; } = null!;
+    }
+}
