# series.map.colorByPoint

When using automatic point colors pulled from the global colors or series-specific plotOptions.map.colors collections, this option determines whether the chart should receive one color per series or one color per point.

In styled mode, the `colors` or `series.colors` arrays are not supported, and instead this option gives the points individual color class names on the form `highcharts-color-{n}`.
