Foilum map module, trying to get more options for marker colors
<p>I am playing with Folium a lot right now and its really great to have something so easy to use in Python. But their documentation is seriously behind, which I understand. So I have 2 questions.</p>

<ol>
<li>What am I doing wrong in how I am trying to get more marker colors? Here is what I have tried:</li>
</ol>

<p><code>map.simple_marker(each_coord, popup=v[0], marker_color='#FFFF00')</code>
<code>map.simple_marker(each_coord, popup=v[0], marker_color='yellow')</code>
<code>map.simple_marker(each_coord, popup=v[0], marker_color='Yellow')</code></p>

<p>They should all make the marker yellow, instead it stays default red. The only colors I can actually change to are red, green, and purple. In an example from the folium documentation it looks like we should be able to use html color codes:</p>

<pre><code>folium.CircleMarker([45.5215, -122.6261],
                radius=500,
                popup='Laurelhurst Park',
                color='#3186cc',
                fill_color='#3186cc',
               ).add_to(map_2)
</code></pre>

<p>But it doesn't work for me. Hope someone knows a way around this because I need at least 12 different colors for my project.</p>

<ol start="2">
<li>The way I am adding markers seems to be deprecated. It works, but I always get this warning: <code>FutureWarning: simple_marker is deprecated. Use add_children(Marker) instead</code> which I think might be related to why I can't get the colors to work. But their is nothing in any of the documentation or open discussions about how to use <code>add_children</code> Maybe someone with knowledge can clarify?</li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks</p>
