Can You Directly Style an SVG Background Image with CSS?

Styling an SVG Background Image with CSS

Can you apply CSS styles directly to an SVG image used as a background image?

While using SVGs as background images is common, extending CSS styling to the SVG itself is not directly supported. The SVG file and the CSS file exist as separate entities, limiting inline styling capabilities.

In the provided CSS example:

element1 {
  background-image(icon.svg);
}

element1.black .svg-pathclass {
  fill: #000000;
}

element1.white .svg-pathclass {
  fill: #ffffff;
}

The attempt is to change the fill color of a path within the SVG based on the element's class. However, this is not feasible because the SVG is rendered as an image, not as live code within the CSS file.

To achieve the desired effect, you must predefine the styles within the SVG file itself or access the SVG through JavaScript to manipulate the colors dynamically.
