I'm using the Google Maps API and would like it to render a very simple image of countries/continents.

I also want to draw them in a suitable color that will work well with my site's color scheme.

Would I need to create my own tile-server? Or can I customize this somehow through the API?

Google recently announced support for Styled Maps in the Google Maps API. You can extensively customize the color scheme used by Google Maps.
