I have been wondering about this for a while now. Why is the little icon for some landmarks bright red in my inventory while the rest are a more dull red? I haven't been able to find any significance to the brighter icons.

one color shows you have used that LM another shows you have not
(note, it has to be a LM you have actually used, it will not change color just because you have been to that location, it has the be the LM you used to get to that location)

it is in the knowledgebase

Why do Landmarks come in two different colors?

If you've looked in your Inventory window's Landmarks folder, you may have noticed some of the pushpin icons are bright red, while others are a faded, almost purple tone.

Here's the difference:

Bright red landmarks are ones you've teleported to. They probably won't change to that color until after you relog.

Faded mauve landmarks are ones you haven't been to yet.

An easy way to test this:

* Go to a parcel of land you can create landmarks on.
* Select World > Create Landmark Here twice.
* Then, in your Inventory window's Landmarks folder, teleport to one of those landmarks (double-clicking is probably the fastest way) and relog.
* Look at your landmarks again.

See the difference? "

Hmmm Ok, thanks. I guess the part about actually using the LM is what threw me. Thanks for the help.
