SVG Fill Color Not Working

Question

I'm new to using SVGs and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. For most of them, if I want to change the color, I use:

svg path {
   fill: blue;
}

But for this one - and other's I've come across - for some reason this way doesn't work.

Here's a fiddle demonstrating the problem

you can just add !important beside fill

.logo-wrapper svg {
  width: 300px;
}

.logo-wrapper svg path{
  fill: green !important;
}
.logo-wrapper svg text{
  fill: green !important;
}

This is the Fiddle

Thanks! My other problem was that I didn't know to target "svg txt", but now it makes sense :) – Kevmon Sep 28 '16 at 10:19

@HonsaStunna It's because inline styles (as used by the SVG) by default override external CSS styles. – Swen Jul 15 '18 at 11:53
Had the issue in latex that the fill color would not show, in the browser it was however visible. Manually adding the `!important` tags fixed it. Thanks! – Elias Mar 28 '23 at 16:10

If you are not in control of your SVG, (perhaps because it comes from an external source you are re-theming,) you are stuck using !important to override the SVG fill property.

If your SVG is in your code base, it is much better to set fill="currentColor", and then set the CSS color property.

Your HTML:

<div class="logo-wrapper">
    <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?><!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"><svg id="logo-personal-care"  width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 159 42" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" style="fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;stroke-linejoin:round;stroke-miterlimit:1.41421;"><g id="Pest-Peeve-Personal-Care-Logo"><g id="PERSONAL-CARE"><text x="19.199px" y="41px" style="font-family:Lucida Grande;font-size:11px;font-weight:500;
fill:"currentColor";">

Your CSS:

.logo-wrapper {
  color: green;
}

This should be the accepted answer. It's not a good idea to use !important unless absolutely necessary. — Andrew Toups, Jan 06 '23 at 15:56

Your path has inline css on it with fill. This overrides your other css. Can be fixed with !important. Or you could remove the inline css.

svg path {
   fill: blue!important;
}

This is the only one that works! Thanks. Just prefix the path with your class name and you can then directly change a specific svg. – KJ Sudarshan May 04 '21 at 15:12

As much as possible, try to avoid using !important. Instead, try to make your selectors more specific. Remember inline takes precedence over id, which takes precedence over classes, which takes precedence over elements.

Your solution may be as simple as adding an additional class, or in the case of a single element, an id.

HTML

<div id="logo-wrapper">
    ...
</div>

CSS

#logo-wrapper {  fill: red }

For a more detailed explanation please read this article

seems the svg has fill property, so if you don't have control of the svg (ie. theming), css override would be needed – chaqke Jun 15 '20 at 23:55

You may need to remove the fill attribute of <path /> tag that inside of <svg />

This is so true if you have a sprite and you load the SVG like "path/my.svg#symbold-id". In that case you really need to remove the fill if you want to set it via CSS later on. – frontlinebg May 29 '23 at 09:25

If you have access to the svg internal code, just set the path to fill="currentColor" and then set the regular color prop, not fill prop in the parent svg, eg: <svg color="#000">

I couldn't get any display of CSS SVG until I discovered, quite by accident, that the quotation marks for an attribute value in SVG are not optional, as they are in HTML for values not containing spaces. Also, a hex value, like fill="#00BB00", will not work for me, even using the fill="currentColor" advice (fill="green" does work). Finally, if you use "url()" in the CSS, you can't include newlines or omit the xmlns attribute.
