<p>You can make markers of different colors using any image editor and "colorize" function. Also, there's a vector render of the marker here: <a href="https://github.com/CloudMade/Leaflet/issues/1048" class="issue-link" title="Include @2x icons">CloudMade/Leaflet#1048</a></p>

<p>Leaflet doesn't use sprites for marker icons because background images can't be printed usually. You can use them using <code>DivIcon</code> instead of normal <code>Icon</code> though.</p>
