Can I change colors in multi-color SVG icons?

Multi-color SVGs use embedded colors rather than currentColor, so you cannot change them with a single CSS property. However, you can modify the SVG code directly to swap specific color values.

Are multi-color icons larger in file size?

Multi-color SVGs tend to be slightly larger than monochrome ones due to additional path data and fill colors, but they remain significantly smaller than raster alternatives like PNG or GIF.

When should I use multi-color vs monochrome icons?

Use multi-color for featured content, empty states, and marketing where visual richness matters. Use monochrome for navigation, toolbars, and dense UI where consistency and minimal visual weight are priorities.
