Set custom color for choropleth map bins

Hi all,

I'm trying to build a (categorical) choropleth map where the 3 ranges are showing specific colors. Part of my code is 

<query>...
| eval count=case(count<=-100,"-100",(count>=-100 AND count<=50),"-100 to -50",count>50,">50")
| sort + count
| geom geo_countries featureIdField=country</query>

<option name="mapping.type">choropleth</option>
<option name="mapping.choroplethLayer.colorBins">3</option>
<option name="mapping.choroplethLayer.colorMode">categorical</option>
<option name="mapping.seriesColors">{"-100":#ff9900,"-100 to 50":#ffcc00,">50":#fff0b3}</option>

However, I'm just seeing the countries colored black, regardless of which bin they fall into. Without specifying "mapping.seriesColors", the countries are colored automatically by Splunk.

Am I using the seriesColors option wrong?

Thank you.

I realized what was wrong. Instead of using mapping.seriesColors, I should use mapping.fieldColors.
