Set default color for different level nodes
For example, level 1 nodes are grey, level 2 are blue, level 3 are cyan, etc.
this is now supported using the new drawing engine, which allows users to define default sizes, colors, fonts etc for nodes. For more info, see http://blog.mindmup.com/p/custom-css-styling.html
we plan to work on this feature more over the next month and reduce the dependency on CSS. At the moment, styling the map requires a bit of CSS knowledge.

Hello, I just discovered Mindmup and am currently evaluating it.
I must say that, though it looks great by somefeatures, I'm a bit reluctant to using it because of the visual aspect of mindmaps: like other users, I just don't see clearly the relationships in the test mindmap I created.
Worst, I already spent a lot of time trying to customize the design of the test mindmap I created to make it more legible (by level? by nodes?).
Which is a great drawback for me: I want a system where I can jot down my ideas in visual form and the design is taken care of automatically.
I currently use Subtask where this issue is dealt with in a very elegant, fast way. When you create your mindmap in Subtask, a new first level will be automatically attributed a color and that color will automatically propagate to text boxes and links within that node. It is so far the fastest way I've discovered to create visually intelligible mindmaps.
That said, I'd really like to switch to Mindmup because you offer something that is very precious to me as regards the ownership of the mindmaps: the ability to save them on the Google drive.
Hope this will help.
