How to change the color of a KmlLayer in the Google Maps v3 API?

I'm writing an application to render trails on a map. I would like to dynamically modify the color of these trails depending on eg. how muddy they are.

I'm using the Google Maps v3 API.

I would like to do everything in Javascript, if possible. The KML may not be served on the same domain as the page containing the Javascript so I might not be able to XmlHttpRequest it.

It looks like the color is specified in the KML file itself, so I could write server-side code to fetch the original KML and re-serve a modified version of it.

My question is: can I do this without server-side processing and just set a property on the KmlLayer to set the color?

For changing the polygon color, you need to use 3rd party kml parsers like geoxml3. see this, changing the color of Polygons from KML rendered using geoxml3 on mouseover

For what it's worth, I wrote an App Engine app that takes a url pointing to a KML or GPX file and converts it to a JSON array containing the lat/lng coordinates in the given file.

Source code is here: https://github.com/Moishe/XmlToPoints

Demo page is here: http://xmltopoints.appspot.com/map?uris=http://bouldermountainbike.org/sites/default/files/Sourdough%20Trail%20(South).gpx

Example URL of getting points is: http://xmltopoints.appspot.com/getpoints?uri=http://bouldermountainbike.org/sites/default/files/Sourdough%20Trail%20(South).gpx&cache=y&jsonp=callback

I don't think there is any property on KmlLayer object to change the color as of now. It is possible to dynamically change the polygon fillColor using for example

new google.maps.Polygon({
    paths: triangleCoords,
    strokeColor: "#FF0000",
    strokeOpacity: 0.8,
    strokeWeight: 2,
    fillColor: "#FF0000",
    fillOpacity: 0.35
  });

But fillColor is not an option in KmlLayer constructor.
