Can't color the svgs with css

Hey,

I can’t color my svgs with CSS like this:

.icon.google:before {
      background-position: 0em -3.3125em;
      width: 0.9375em;
      height: 0.9375em;
      fill: red;
  }

either this:

<span class="icon google" style="fill: red;"></span>

What am I doing wrong? Is there a possibility to style the svgs via CSS?

You cannot fill SVG likes that in CSS. You need to use another approach.
