Learn how to add colors to your locations

In this article, I will teach you how to add colors to your map markers using the select type in your database.

You must first create or choose a column of the type "Select" (not "Multi-Select"). As we know, in Notion, every option from a select can have its own color, so, for example, I can create options that correspond with weather conditions, such as "Cold" to be blue and "Sunny" to be orange. So all you have to do is create options that are relevant to your data and color them accordingly.

As a result, you will have a column of type "Select" with every option having a color, as seen in the following image.

It's now as easy as creating or updating a map and the colors will be pulled from your Notion database.
