 I just tried to display a map with an overlay of vector points and they
 all looked black, regardless of the color I chose. Turns out that when the
 view is from the SE and the light is also from the SE (both defaults), the
 vector spheres are in shadow. If I switch the light to the NW, the face of
 the spheres are lit--but of course the shadows on the surface are going
 the other way. This reversal also applies to light height. When the light
 is low, a sphere is lit from the top; when the light is high, there is
 very oblique lighting--again reversed from the surface. So there is a
 flipped variable somewhere.

 I've attached a screenshot of a surface and points with a view from the SE
 and lighting from the SE. The shadows on the surface are to the NW
 (correct), but the spheres in completely in shadow (incorrect).
