# colorScheme

The map’s color scheme when displaying standard or muted standard map types.

## Declaration

```data
colorScheme?: ColorScheme;
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property accepts a property from ColorScheme to determine whether the map displays with a dark or light theme when Standard or MutedStandard are the configured mapType. The default is Light. The grid, user location accuracy ring, labels for marker annotations, and controls of the map change appearance to complement the Dark Mode style.
