Goal: I want to style an SVG graphic using style classes (stroke color). I have read that this is done with color.
Problem: The style is applied to one graphic and not to another svg.
Question: I would like to know why this is?
.voted svg path {
color: green;
}
svg {
width: 40px;
}<button class="voted">
<svg class="" width="36" height="36" viewBox="0 0 36 36"><path d="M2 25h32L18 9 2 25Z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg>
</button>
<button class="voted">

</button>>Solution :
-
SVG uses fill/stroke rather than color.
-
The only reason color works in the first case is that it has fill="currentColor" that sets the fill to whatever the color is.
