Dark

Specialized color systems

Our cartographers have created two tightly constrained color palettes that use slight shifts in hue and value to provide depth and space without overwhelming overlaid content.

Mapbox Streets data

Mapbox Dark and Light use the same vector tile source as our general-purpose maps and contain the full range of geographic information required to provide context for overlays.

Optimized styling

Dark and Light are specially designed to show a full set of cartographic features without distracting from your content. Our designers have modified every element of these maps – thinning line widths, lowering label densities, reducing contrast – to make sure they always complement your project.

Globe View at low zoom levels

Mapbox Dark defaults to Globe View at low zoom levels, including fog and atmospheric properties, offering you an alternative to the flat and skewed Mercator Projection when aiming to realistically display visual information that is continental in scale.
