Through this color scheme, each city icon is represented through a different color, allowing the consumer to witness a more vibrant iteration of its city's planning. These maps can be customized, enabling the consumer to [select a specific neighborhood or city](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cityinspired-destination-stickers), as well as selecting the map's color pairings, which can range from cool grays, to cheerful blues and reds.
