Use utilities like fill-indigo-500 and fill-lime-600 to change the fill color of an SVG:

<svg class="fill-blue-500 ...">  <!-- ... --></svg>

This can be useful for styling icon sets like Heroicons.

Use the fill-current utility to set the fill color to the current text color:

Hover over the button to see the fill color change

<button class="bg-white text-indigo-600 hover:bg-indigo-600 hover:text-white ...">  <svg class="size-5 fill-current ...">    <!-- ... -->  </svg>  Check for updates</button>

Use the fill-[<value>] syntax to set the fill color based on a completely custom value:

<svg class="fill-[#243c5a] ...">  <!-- ... --></svg>

For CSS variables, you can also use the fill-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<svg class="fill-(--my-fill-color) ...">  <!-- ... --></svg>

This is just a shorthand for fill-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Prefix a fill utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<svg class="fill-cyan-500 md:fill-cyan-700 ...">  <!-- ... --></svg>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.

Use the --color-* theme variables to customize the color utilities in your project:

@theme {  --color-regal-blue: #243c5a; }

Now the fill-regal-blue utility can be used in your markup:

<svg class="fill-regal-blue">  <!-- ... --></svg>

Learn more about customizing your theme in the theme documentation.
