Icon Colors

Example assigning a custom color to an icon

Example assigning a custom color to an icon. The icon styles in this example use images with a white fill. For some features, custom colors set using the color property. Note that icon files need to obey the same origin policy or send proper CORS headers for this to work. When relying on CORS headers, the ol/style/Icon must be configured with crossOrigin: 'anonymous'.
