It is possible to change color of map pins, for example HarvestMap addon it does.
Map uses two different types of group pins (group leader / group mebers). If you want to have different color for each group member, it is doable, but it is not that simple matter.

If you do not have HarvestMap addon installed, just copy&paste the following code into the .lua file of any addon you use:

--set pin colors:
ZO_MapPin.PIN_DATA[MAP_PIN_TYPE_GROUP_LEADER].color = {1, 0.65, 0, 1} --r,g,b,alpha (orange)
ZO_MapPin.PIN_DATA[MAP_PIN_TYPE_GROUP].color = {0, 1, 0, 1} --(green)
 
--hook function to make it work:
ZO_PreHook(ZO_MapPin, "SetData", 
   function(self, pinTypeId)
      local control = GetControl(self:GetControl(), "Background")
      local color = ZO_MapPin.PIN_DATA[pinTypeId].color or {1, 1, 1, 1}
      control:SetColor(unpack(color))
   end)

If you use HarvestMap, you will need either replace custom hook in HarvestMapMarkers.lua with the code above or change my code to post hook:

--set pin colors:
ZO_MapPin.PIN_DATA[MAP_PIN_TYPE_GROUP_LEADER].color = {1, 0.65, 0, 1} --r,g,b,alpha (orange)
ZO_MapPin.PIN_DATA[MAP_PIN_TYPE_GROUP].color = {0, 1, 0, 1} --(green)
 
--hook function to make it work:
local SetData = ZO_MapPin.SetData
ZO_MapPin.SetData = function(self, pinTypeId, ...)
   SetData(self, pinTypeId, ...)
   local control = GetControl(self:GetControl(), "Background")
   local color = ZO_MapPin.PIN_DATA[pinTypeId].color or {1, 1, 1, 1}
   control:SetColor(unpack(color))
end
