Here are some examples of complex element styling.

## Yellow roads with green outlines

Customize all roads to have a pale yellow fill and a dark green outline as the
base style. ![A custom-styled map, showing several roads. The roads are pale yellow with a green outline.](https://developers.google.com/static/maps/images/cloud-customization/roads-example-yellow-with-green.png)

1. Under **Map Features** , select **Road Network**.

2. In the **Road Network** style panel, under **Polyline** , select the box
   under **Fill color**.

3. Select a light yellow color, such as hex code #eeeec8.

4. Select the box under **Stroke color** and select a dark green color, such
   as hex code #155304.

5. Under **Stroke width**, set it to 3px.

As you zoom in and out, different roads show this style as they appear and
disappear. Once roads get too small to show the outline, they display only the
yellow color.

## Different colors of water by zoom level

Some types of element styling might only be visible at certain zoom levels, like
3D buildings or points of interest (POIs). Add a style such that the
water appears dark blue zoomed out to maximum (z0),
medium blue when zoomed in to the level of a state or province (zoom level 6
on a laptop), and pale blue with a dark blue border when zoomed in tightly
(z19).

The water is slightly lighter blue than the map on the left.](https://developers.google.com/static/maps/images/cloud-customization/water-example.png)

1. Under **Map Features** , select **Water**.

2. In the **Water** panel, under **Polyline** , select the box
   under **Fill color**, and select a dark blue color.

3. Select the zoom diamond to the right of **Fill color** to open the
   keyzoom panel.

4. Select zoom level 6, and select a medium blue color.

5. Select zoom level 19, and change the water to light blue.

Note, if you set a stroke color, creeks and streams and many smaller rivers
only show the body color, even zoomed all the way in. The difference between
stroke and fill is visible on large ponds, lakes, and larger bodies of water.
