Can I adjust the color of SVG icons in Webflow, similar to changing the background color?

TL;DR

Below is a solution outlining how to adjust the color of SVG icons in Webflow, similar to changing a background color.

1. SVG Code Setup

• Edit the SVG Code: Ensure your SVG has a fill attribute set to currentColor (or no hard-coded fill attribute) so that it can inherit CSS styles.
• Inline SVG: Consider embedding the SVG code directly in your Webflow project, which allows CSS styling directly on the SVG elements.
• Icon Files: If you’re using an SVG file as an image, you might not be able to change its color unless you adjust the SVG file outside of Webflow.

2. Using CSS in Webflow

• Target the SVG: Once the SVG is properly set up, assign it a class and use CSS to change its color. For example, setting the text color (using the CSS property color) will change the SVG’s fill if currentColor is used.
• Global vs. Local Styling: You can apply the color property globally or only to specific icons by targeting their classes.

3. Considerations and Best Practices

• File Preparation: Make sure to optimize your SVG by removing unnecessary attributes that might override your CSS.
• Testing: Preview in Webflow to verify that color changes via the CSS are applied correctly to the SVG icons.
• Fallbacks: If you cannot modify the SVG file, you may consider using a third-party tool or software to adjust its color before uploading.

Summary

Adjusting the color of SVG icons in Webflow is possible by ensuring the SVG is set up with a fill attribute like currentColor and then targeting it with CSS. This allows you to change its color similarly to a background color change.
