I am trying to add a custom colored marker to a map. I found this answer, which states that I need to feed a BitmapDescriptorFactory with a HUE color and give that to the .icon() method of the MarkerOptions, but when I am using a converter to get the HUE value for my color (#678E00), it gives me 3 values, (76,100,27.8), but I can only provide 1 number to the BitmapDescriptorFactory. Do you know how I could do this?

The HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) representation of your Hex color (#678E00) is 76, 100, 27.8.
This means that the Hue of your color is 76 which is the value that you need to feed to the defaultMarker function:
.defaultMarker(76)
Take into account that you can only set the Hue of the marker and the Saturation and Lightness won't be modified so your color will be different than the original #678E00

Thanks for the response! Yes, this was my issue, I used 76, but that`s not the color I needed. So is there no way to represent any color in the BitmapDescriptorFactory? – Analizer May 22 '18 at 09:24

Using the `BitmapDescriptorFactory` you can only shift the hue, and as you can't touch the saturation and lightness you won't be able to get your desired color. You will need to use a custom marker icon – antonio May 22 '18 at 19:54
