points
In this article, we would like to show you how to set SVG color to the current text color using CSS.
Quick solution:
<style>
.container {
color: green;
}
</style>
<div class="container">
<svg>
<path fill="currentColor"> <!-- currentColor uses .container color value -->
<!-- SVG body here -->
</path>
</svg>
</div>
Practical example
In this example, we set the text color of the body element to green. We also set path element's attribute fill="currentColor" that allows us to use the body element's color property value.
// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
color: green; /* thanks to currentColor the fill attribute from svg <path> tag uses this color */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Example text...</p>
