Change color of leaflet marker

Question

Is there anyway to change the color of leaflet marker base on the value of some variable. In the following map, for example, I wish to assign marker color based on mag varia

Answer 1

L.Marker uses images (one for the marker, one for the shadow) so that's not possible. You can however use your own images, there's a good write up on the topic among the tutorials on the Leaflet site:
