I'm using SVG logo that will be used as anchor links. By default, the SVG are black and I wanted them to be a shade of purple, so i add fill="#7b0aa8 in the SVG file on VS Code.
But I can't make the SVG change to a specific color with mouse hover.
If I use filter generated with codepen sosuke, the filter will change the color based on the current color(In this case, purple), but the code is made to change base on black, so I can't use the filter properly.
Is there a better way to deal with SVG anchor links so I can change the color in CSS precisely?

<header class="header">

  <a class="header__link" target="blank" href="#">
    <img class="icone" src="./assets/icons/iconmonstr-github-1.svg"    alt="Logo GitHub">
  </a>
 
  <a class="header__link" target="blank" href="#">
    <img class="icone" src="./assets/icons/iconmonstr-linkedin-3.svg" alt="Logo LikedIn">
  </a>
 
  <a class="header__link" target="blank" href="#">
    <img class="icone" src="./assets/icons/itchio-textless-black.svg" alt="">
  </a>       
</header>

  • they are all based on a black color, so what is the problem? – Mister Jojo Apr 04 '23 at 01:11

  • It seems a litte bit advanced for me right now, but I will give it a try, thx – Annie Alves Apr 04 '23 at 01:53

You can use `` elements with external file references. However you should remove predefined fill colors from icon `` elements to facilitate styling (or set `currentColor` to inherit text colors). – herrstrietzel Apr 04 '23 at 18:42

If you include the svg as code then you should be able to just use the hover event on the path. In this example it works better if you use the parent anchor to control the hover. Notice the second example hover only works in actual fill areas.

     a > .svgstyle path{
       fill: green; 
    }

     a:hover .svgstyle path {
    fill: purple; 
    }

    .svgstyle2 path {
    fill:green;
    }
    .svgstyle2 path:hover {
    fill: purple;
    }

Yes if you use it as code, with fill="currentColor" in the svg code. Then you can use CSS to use the normal color property
