The solution used in the article changes SVG image color using trick: <img> element combined with filter style property.

Quick solution:

    /* filter configuration comes from CSS filter generator - check NOTE below */
    filter: invert(12%) sepia(63%) saturate(6234%) hue-rotate(246deg) brightness(87%) contrast(156%);
}
