How to change color of this SVG?

Question

I've tried multiple methods of changing this SVG's color but I cannot find a solution.

Thank you in advance, it's really appreciated!

it's filled with image, you would have to link different image — Flash Thunder, Jan 13 '22 at 10:16
Are you trying to change the color of the png or just the area surrounding the png? — jdweng, Jan 13 '22 at 10:18
You have an image inside rectangle which is inside the view box. So what are you changing? — jdweng, Jan 13 '22 at 10:20
You image is larger than the rectangle and viewbox so changing the rectangle and viewbox will not show due to the image being larger. — jdweng, Jan 13 '22 at 10:22
@Mortiz you can use for example a free application - Inkscape to edit the svg — Flash Thunder, Jan 13 '22 at 10:24

Alright so after hours of googling and researching, I decoded the base64 png manually and converted it to a PNG file. Thereafter I changed the color of the PNG, to save it and encode it back again.

I would totally recommend this solution for anyone struggling with the same problem!

You can change colors by css filter.

body {
  background-color: #000;
}

svg image {
  filter: invert(0.75) sepia(1) hue-rotate(180deg) saturate(1000%);
}

.fontAwesome {
  color: blue;
  display: inline-block;
  width: 1em;
  font-size: 32px;
}

Better use vector icon libraries like fontAwesome, feather icons etc. They offer a superior quality in any size and can be colored by fill or color attribute.
