Google Map Color Coding Countries based on marker value

I need to color code counties on my google maps based on the markers on these locations. Anyone with some idea as to how this can be done? I am using google earth

I can create markers dynamically and show my data. Now I need to find a way to style google maps.

As of right now Google does not support county shading it seems. With map charts here, it lets you shade countries and states.

http://code.google.com/apis/chart/image/docs/gallery/new_map_charts.html

The closest I've got to seeing county shading is an example here:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=http://lazylightning.org/mncounties-sorted.kmz&ie=UTF8&z=6&om=1

You can read a little bit about how it was made here: http://www.lazylightning.org/minnesota-county-kmz-overlay-for-google-maps

I'm not sure how extensively you can customize Google Earth, but if you're not dead-set on it, try one of these: Google Visualizations

Depending on which one you choose (I believe there are three different types of maps available,) there are loads of customization possibilities. Also, none of these require a proprietary plugin like Google Earth does (just Javascript and Flash. Okay, Flash is a proprietary plugin, but I'm sure it's far more common than the Google Earth plugin.)
