def create_random_map(location, zoom_start):
    import folium
    import random

    # Generate a random color
    random_color = '#' + ''.join([random.choice('0123456789ABCDEF') for _ in range(6)])

    # Create a map centered at the given location with a starting zoom level
    m = folium.Map(location=location, zoom_start=zoom_start)

    # Add a random marker to the map
    folium.Marker(location, popup='Random Location', icon=folium.Icon(color=random_color)).add_to(m)

    # Save the map to an HTML file
    m.save('random_map.html')
