Color countries by group

Build a country-coloring config without touching code.

  • Add groups (e.g. 'Markets', 'Considering')
  • Pick a color per group
  • Toggle countries — each country belongs to one group

Standard ISO country codes

We use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes (US, GB, DE, etc.).

  • Two-letter codes are the international standard
  • Works in MapsMaker, Mapbox, Google Maps, etc.
  • If you need more countries than the picker shows, request a feature

What to do with the JSON

This tool generates config; the editor renders the map.

  • Download the JSON for backup
  • Load it into the MapsMaker editor for full styling
  • Use it as a config for your own choropleth implementation

Frequently asked questions

Why not click-to-color directly?
Country boundaries are heavy data; v1 keeps it lightweight as a config generator. Live editor coming.
How many countries are in the picker?
25 common ones for v1. More can be added — request via support.
Can I have a country in multiple groups?
No — each country belongs to one group per map (standard choropleth).
What format is the export?
JSON with groups, colors, and country codes.
Is this tool free?
Yes — no signup required.
Will the config render with country names?
Standard mapping tools (including MapsMaker) join codes to country names automatically.
Save it as a real map
MapsMaker is where you publish and embed interactive maps.
