Style properties used for drawing markers. This attribute is inherited from `MarkerSeries`. Below are the default values:

fill
  A hash containing the following values:
  color

    `["#66007f", "#a86f41", "#295454", "#996ab2", "#e8cdb7", "#90bdbd","#000000","#c3b8ca", "#968373", "#678585"]`
  alpha
    Number from 0 to 1 indicating the opacity of the marker fill. The default value is 1.
border
  A hash containing the following values:
  color
    Color of the border. The default value is determined by the order of the series on the graph. The color will be retrieved from the below array:
    `["#205096", "#b38206", "#000000", "#94001e", "#9d6fa0", "#e55b00", "#5e85c9", "#adab9e", "#6ac291", "#006457"]`
