How to change color of SVG image using CSS (jQuery SVG image replacement)?

This is a self Q&A of a handy piece of code I came up with.

Currently, there isn\'t an easy way to embed an SVG image and then have access to the SVG elements vi

Explanation:

I'm assuming you have html something like this:

Definitely go the filter route, ie. your svg is most likely black or white. You can apply a filter to get it to be whatever color you want, for example, I have a black svg that I want mint green. I first invert it to be white (which is technically all RGB colors on full) then play with the hue saturation etc. To get it right:

filter: invert(86%) sepia(21%) saturate(761%) hue-rotate(92deg) brightness(99%) contrast(107%);

Even better is that you could just use a tool to convert the hex you want into a filter for you: https://codepen.io/sosuke/pen/Pjoqqp
