I want to use this technique and change the SVG color, but so far I haven't been able to do so. I put this in the CSS, but my image is always black, no matter what.
My code:
.change-my-color { fill: green; }
2020 answer
CSS Filter works on all current browsers
To change any SVGs color
Add the SVG image using an tag.
<img src="dotted-arrow.svg" class="filter-green"/>
To filter to a specific color, use the following Codepen(Click Here to open codepen) to convert a hex color code to a CSS filter:
For example, output for #00EE00 is
filter: invert(42%) sepia(93%) saturate(1352%) hue-rotate(87deg) brightness(119%) contrast(119%);
Add the CSS filter into this class.
.filter-green{
filter: invert(48%) sepia(79%) saturate(2476%) hue-rotate(86deg) brightness(118%) contrast(119%);
}
To change the color of any SVG you can directly change the svg code by opening the svg file in any text editor. The code may look like the below code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 16.0.0, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 6.00 Build 0) -->
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
width="500px" height="500px" viewBox="0 0 500 500" enable-background="new 0 0 500 500" xml:space="preserve">
<g>
<path d="M114.26,436.584L99.023,483h301.953l-15.237-46.416H114.26z M161.629,474.404h-49.592l9.594-29.225h69.223
C181.113,454.921,171.371,464.663,161.629,474.404z"/>
/*Some more code goes on*/
</g>
</svg>
You can observe that there are some XML tags like path, circle, polygon etc. There you can add your own color with help of style attribute. Look at the below example
<path fill="#AB7C94" d="M114.26,436.584L99.023,483h301.953l-15.237-46.416H114.26z M161.629,474.404h-49.592l9.594-29.225h69.223
C181.113,454.921,171.371,464.663,161.629,474.404z"/>
Add the style attribute to all the tags so that you can get your SVG of your required color
Edit: As per Daniel's comment, we can use fill attribute directly instead of fill element inside style attribute
fill like this: fill = "#AB7C94" ? Not sure why the style attribute is needed
You can't change the color of an image that way. If you load SVG as an image, you can't change how it is displayed using CSS or Javascript in the browser.
If you want to change your SVG image, you have to load it using <object>, <iframe> or using <svg> inline.
If you want to use the techniques in the page, you need the Modernizr library, where you can check for SVG support and conditionally display or not a fallback image. You can then inline your SVG and apply the styles you need.
See :
#time-3-icon {
fill: green;
}
.my-svg-alternate {
display: none;
}
.no-svg .my-svg-alternate {
display: block;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-image: url(image.png);
}
You can inline your SVG, tag your fallback image with a class name (my-svg-alternate):
<svg width="96px" height="96px" viewBox="0 0 512 512" enable-background="new 0 0 512 512" xml:space="preserve">
<path id="time-3-icon" .../>
</svg>
<image class="my-svg-alternate" width="96" height="96" src="ppngfallback.png" />
And in CSS use the no-svg class from Modernizr (CDN: http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/modernizr/modernizr-2.7.2.js ) to check for SVG support. If there is no SVG support the SVG block will be ignored and the image will be displayed, otherwise the image will be removed from the DOM tree (display: none):
.my-svg-alternate {
display: none;
}
.no-svg .my-svg-alternate {
display: block;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-image: url(image.png);
}
Then you can change the color of your inlined element:
#time-3-icon {
fill: green;
}
object SVGs from the hosting document.
if you want to change the color dynamically:
Open the SVG in a code editor Add or rewrite the attribute of fill of every path to fill="currentColor" Now, that svg will take the color of your font color so you can do something like:
svg {
color : "red";
}
stroke attributes to stroke="currentColor".
<img> tag.
Only SVG with path information. you can't do that to the image.. as the path you can change stroke and fill information and you are done. like Illustrator
so: via CSS you can overwrite path fill value
path { fill: orange; }
but if you want more flexible way as you want to change it with a text when having some hovering effect going on.. use
path { fill: currentColor; }
body { background: #ddd; text-align: center; padding-top: 2em; } .parent { width: 320px; height: 50px; display: block; transition: all 0.3s; cursor: pointer; padding: 12px; box-sizing: border-box; } /*** desired colors for children ***/ .parent{ color: #000; background: #def; } .parent:hover{ color: #fff; background: #85c1fc; } .parent span{ font-size: 18px; margin-right: 8px; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Helvetica'; line-height: 26px; vertical-align: top; } .parent svg{ max-height: 26px; width: auto; display: inline; } /**** magic trick *****/ .parent svg path{ fill: currentcolor; }
Added a test page - to color SVG via Filter settings:
E.G filter: invert(0.5) sepia(1) saturate(5) hue-rotate(175deg)
Upload & Color your SVG - Jsfiddle
Took the idea from: https://blog.union.io/code/2017/08/10/img-svg-fill/
.custom-disabled > svg {filter:invert(0.2) sepia(1) saturte(0) hue-rotate(0);} did just the job I need to disabled icon.
Solutions 1 - Edit SVG to point to the currentColor
<svg>... fill: currentColor stroke: currentColor ...</svg>
Then you can control the color of the stroke and the fill from your css
svg {
color: blue; // or any color of your choice.
}
Pros and cons:
Simple and uses conventional supported css.
Suitable if:
You control the SVG
SVG can be included inline in the HTML.
Solution 2 - css mask property
<i class="icon"></i>
.icon {
-webkit-mask-size: cover;
mask-size: cover;
-webkit-mask-image: url(https://url.of.svg/....svg);
mask-image: url(https://url.of.svg/....svg);
background-color: blue; // or any color of your choice.
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
}
}
Pros and cons
Relatively easy to use
Browser support for the mask css property is partial.
Suitable if:
SVG is external, and included via URL
Meant to be used on modern known browsers.
Solution 3 - css Filter property - static color
If the color is known in advance you can use https://codepen.io/sosuke/pen/Pjoqqp to find the filter needed to change your SVG to the desired color. For example, to convert the svg to #00f:
<img src="https://url.of.svg/....svg" class="icon">
.icon {
filter: invert(8%) sepia(100%) saturate(6481%) hue-rotate(246deg) brightness(102%) contrast(143%);
}
if your original color isn't black prefix the list of filters with brightness(0) saturate(100%) to convert it first to black.
Pros and cons:
There might be a small, non significant difference between the result and the desired color.
Suitable if:
Desired color is known in advance.
External image
SVG mask on a box element with a background color will result:
body{ overflow:hidden; } .icon { --size: 70px; display: inline-block; width: var(--size); height: var(--size); transition: .12s; -webkit-mask-size: cover; mask-size: cover; } .icon-bike { background: black; animation: 4s frames infinite linear; -webkit-mask-image: url(https://image.flaticon.com/icons/svg/89/89139.svg); mask-image: url(https://image.flaticon.com/icons/svg/89/89139.svg); } @keyframes frames { 0% { transform:translatex(100vw) } 25% { background: red; } 75% { background: lime; } 100% { transform:translatex(-100%) } }
Note - SVG masks are not supported in Internet Explorer browsers
the easiest way would be to create a font out of the SVG using a service like https://icomoon.io/app/#/select or such. upload your SVG, click "generate font", include font files and css into your side and just use and style it like any other text. I always use it like this because it makes styling much easier.
EDIT: As mentioned in the article commented by @CodeMouse92 icon fonts mess up screen readers (and are possibly bad for SEO). So rather stick to the SVGs.
You can try to color it with this css filter hack:
.colorize-pink {
filter: brightness(0.5) sepia(1) hue-rotate(-70deg) saturate(5);
}
.colorize-navy {
filter: brightness(0.2) sepia(1) hue-rotate(180deg) saturate(5);
}
.colorize-blue {
filter: brightness(0.5) sepia(1) hue-rotate(140deg) saturate(6);
}
To simply change the color of the svg :
Go to the svg file and under styles, mention the color in fill.
<style>.cls-1{fill:#FFFFFF;}</style>
Target the path within the svg:
<svg>
<path>....
</svg>
You can do inline, like:
<path fill="#ccc">
Or
svg{
path{
fill: #ccc
To change color of SVG element I have found out a way while inspecting Google search box search icon below:
.search_icon { color: red; fill: currentColor; display: inline-block; width: 100px; height: 100px; }
I have used span element with "display:inline-block", height, width and setting a particular style "color: red; fill: currentColor;" to that span tag which is inherited by the child svg element.
fill: currentColor; to it is the key.
You can change SVG coloring with css if you use some tricks. I wrote a small script for that.
go through a list of elements which do have an svg image
load the svg file as xml
fetch only svg part
change color of path
replace src with the modified svg as inline image
$('img.svg-changeable').each(function () {
var $e = $(this);
var imgURL = $e.prop('src');
$.get(imgURL, function (data) {
// Get the SVG tag, ignore the rest
var $svg = $(data).find('svg');
// change the color
$svg.find('path').attr('fill', '#000');
$e.prop('src', "data:image/svg+xml;base64," + window.btoa($svg.prop('outerHTML')));
});
});
the code above might not be working correctly, I've implemented this for elements with an svg background image which works nearly similar to this. But anyway you have to modify this script to fit your case. hope it helped.
here the fast&furious way :)
body{ background-color: #deff05; } svg{ width: 30%; height: auto; } svg path { color:red; fill: currentcolor; }
A simple way to change SVG image color is using a filter property.
Filter Generator here
Original SVG:
Filtered SVG:
.change-my-color { filter: invert(21%) sepia(100%) saturate(3618%) hue-rotate(102deg) brightness(96%) contrast(108%); } .change-my-color2 { filter: invert(90%) sepia(93%) saturate(636%) hue-rotate(338deg) brightness(112%) contrast(102%); } .change-my-color3 { filter: invert(71%) sepia(98%) saturate(1284%) hue-rotate(164deg) brightness(100%) contrast(103%); } .change-my-color4 { filter: invert(23%) sepia(99%) saturate(2151%) hue-rotate(258deg) brightness(100%) contrast(112%); }
Found this useful codepen. It asks for a color and generates an appropriate css filter that achieves your color.
For example:
filter: 'invert(48%) sepia(75%) saturate(1969%) hue-rotate(213deg) brightness(97%) contrast(87%)',
For Example, in your HTML:
<body>
<svg viewBox="" width="" height="">
<path id="struct1" fill="#xxxxxx" d="M203.3,71.6c-.........."></path>
</svg>
</body>
Use jQuery:
$("#struct1").css("fill","<desired colour>");
Method 1
The easy and effect way
open your .svg file with any text editor
<svg version="1.1" id="Capa_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
viewBox="0 0 477.526 477.526" style="enable-background:new 0 0 477.526 477.526;
fill: rgb(109, 248, 248);" xml:space="preserve">
<svg />
give an style attribute and fill that with color
Another way
fill with color in your shape here i have rect shape fill="white
<svg width="800" height="600" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<g>
<title>background</title>
<rect fill="#fff" id="canvas_background" height="602" width="802" y="-1"
x="-1"/>
<g display="none" overflow="visible" y="0" x="0" height="100%" width="100%"
id="canvasGrid">
<rect fill="url(#gridpattern)" stroke-width="0" y="0" x="0" height="100%"
width="100%"/>
</g>
</g>
</svg>

If the same SVG must be used multiple times with different colors, define the set of paths within a hidden SVG which serves as the master copy. Then place new instances which refer to the master path with their individual fills.
Note: This approach only works with inline <svg> tags. It will not work with <img> tags loading .svg files.
:root { fill: gray; } .hidden { display: none; } svg { width: 1em; height: 1em; }
If you want to do this to an inline svg that is, for example, a background image in your css:
background: url("data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf8,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' fill='rgba(31,159,215,1)' viewBox='...'/%3E%3C/svg%3E");
of course, replace the ... with your inline image code
Use an svg <mask> element.
This is better than other solutions because:
Closely matches your original code.
Works in IE!
The embedded image can still be an external, unmodified file.
The image does not even have to be an SVG.
Color is inherited from font-color, so easy to use alongside text.
Color is a normal CSS color, not a strange combination of filters.

You can use font icon to use any CSS option on SVG
I was searching for a way to have any CSS options like animation for SVG, and I ended up to generate a font icon with my SVG(s) and then use it inside a span (like FontAwesome), So any CSS option like coloring is available on it.
I used https://icomoon.io to convert my SVG to font icon. Then you can use it like FontAwesome or MaterialIcon inside HTML elements.
Actually, there is a quite more flexible solution to this problem: writing a Web Component which will patch SVG as text in runtime. Also published in gist with a link to JSFiddle

There are some problem with @Manish Menaria answer, if we convert white color it shows gray.
so added some tweaks, below example specifically shows how to change color in material icon
<mat-icon class="draft-white" svgIcon="draft" aria-hidden="false"></mat-icon>
.draft-white{
filter: brightness(0) invert(1);
}
A good approach is to use a mixin to control stroke colour and fill colour. My svgs are used as icons.
@mixin icon($color, $hoverColor) {
svg {
fill: $color;
circle, line, path {
fill: $color
}
&:hover {
fill: $hoverColor;
circle, line, path {
fill: $hoverColor;
}
}
}
}
You can then do the following in your scss:
.container {
@include icon(white, blue);
}
If you want to use css to change the colour, you could also use an online tool like this one: https://change-svg-color.vercel.app/
You shall not set the color directly on the svg image, if you want to program the color of the svg.
In 2021, you can use the following css to make the color change.
html{ --iron-icon-fill-color-1:green; --iron-icon-fill-color-2:red; --iron-icon-stroke-color:white; } svg#icon-green{ fill: var(--iron-icon-fill-color-1, currentcolor); stroke: var(--iron-icon-stroke-color, none); } svg#icon-red{ fill: var(--iron-icon-fill-color-2, currentcolor); stroke: var(--iron-icon-stroke-color, none); } svg#icon{ fill: var(--iron-icon-fill-color-x, currentcolor); stroke: white; }
shortest Bootstrap-compatible way, no JavaScript:
.cameraicon {
height: 1.6em;/* set your own icon size */
mask: url(/camera.svg); /* path to your image */
-webkit-mask: url(/camera.svg) no-repeat center;
}
and use it like:
<td class="text-center">
<div class="bg-secondary cameraicon"/><!-- "bg-secondary" sets actual color of your icon -->
</td>
