Use utilities like stroke-indigo-500 and stroke-lime-600 to change the stroke color of an SVG:
<svg class="stroke-cyan-500 ..."> <!-- ... --></svg>
This can be useful for styling icon sets like Heroicons.
Use the stroke-current utility to set the stroke color to the current text color:
Hover over the button to see the stroke color change
<button class="bg-white text-pink-600 hover:bg-pink-600 hover:text-white ..."> <svg class="size-5 stroke-current ..." fill="none"> <!-- ... --> </svg> Download file</button>
Use the stroke-[<value>] syntax to set the stroke color based on a completely custom value:
<svg class="stroke-[#243c5a] ..."> <!-- ... --></svg>
For CSS variables, you can also use the stroke-(<custom-property>) syntax:
<svg class="stroke-(--my-stroke-color) ..."> <!-- ... --></svg>
This is just a shorthand for stroke-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.
Prefix a stroke utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:
<svg class="stroke-cyan-500 md:stroke-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 stroke-regal-blue utility can be used in your markup:
<svg class="stroke-regal-blue"> <!-- ... --></svg>
Learn more about customizing your theme in the theme documentation.
