Conditional Shape Coloring
All, I have looked for awhile, and can't seem to find the answer to this question. How do I only color the orange circles from the viz below based off of a measure in my data set?

When I do that, it colors the H’s and N’s, which I don’t want it to do.

You could do a dual axis map in which the circles are on it's own axis.

What differentiates the letters from the circles? I can't tell that from the screenshot you've included, it would be really helpful if we could get some sample data in a Tableau packaged workbook.
Generally speaking I'd be looking to do something like IF [Dimension] != "H" and [Dimension] != "N" then [Measure Value] END and drop that on the color shelf.

This is what the data looks like. The circles are the tracts. They have a population, which is why I only want them to be colored.
Let me know if this helps or not.

It would be easier with a packaged workbook so we have access to the icons you've already started using.
I believe John's approach is going to be the correct answer - a dual axis and perhaps an invisible shape for one of those axis.
