Amazon Location Service allows you to set the color scheme for maps. The color-scheme parameter sets the map's color palette, such as `Light` or `Dark`, to better align with your application's design and accessibility needs.

## Light and Dark color schemes

The `Light` mode is versatile and fits into any context, while the `Dark` mode features a constrained palette designed to show details clearly and maintain readability in darker environments.
