What color formats does this tool detect inside an SVG?

It detects HEX colors (including 3 and 6-character formats), rgb() and rgba() function values, and standard CSS color keywords like 'black' or 'red' when they appear in fill or stroke attributes.

Will this break my SVG's structure?

No — the tool performs targeted replacements only on recognized color values within fill, stroke, and related style attributes, leaving the rest of the SVG's paths, groups, and structure completely untouched.

Can I replace a color used in multiple places at once?

Yes — every occurrence of a given detected color across the entire SVG is replaced together when you change it, which is exactly the batch-editing convenience this tool is built for.

What does the special value 'currentColor' do?

Instead of hardcoding a color, setting a fill or stroke to currentColor tells the SVG to inherit whatever CSS color is set on itself or its nearest ancestor, letting the same icon automatically adapt to different themes or hover states purely through CSS.

Does this work on complex, multi-layer illustrations, not just simple icons?

Yes, the color detection scans the entire SVG document regardless of how many paths, groups, or nested elements it contains, though very large or complex files may show a longer list of unique colors to work through individually.

About the SVG Color Replacer

Icon libraries and exported vector graphics often ship with hardcoded fill and stroke colors baked directly into the SVG markup, which means recoloring an icon to match your brand normally means manually hunting through the code for every fill="..." and stroke="..." attribute. This tool takes any pasted SVG code, finds every color reference inside it automatically, and lets you replace them instantly with a live preview, no code editor required.

How it works

Paste raw SVG markup into the input area, and the tool scans it for every fill and stroke attribute (including ones set via inline style attributes) and lists each unique color it finds. Assign a new color to any detected value, and the tool performs a precise find-and-replace across the SVG's XML, updating only genuine color attributes rather than blindly replacing text, and re-renders the SVG live so you can confirm the recolor looks correct before copying the updated markup.

Common use cases

Recoloring a downloaded icon from an icon library to match a specific brand color
Quickly testing how the same icon looks in several different color combinations
Fixing an SVG that was exported with a placeholder or incorrect color baked in
Batch-updating every occurrence of one color across a complex, multi-path SVG illustration
Preparing a set of matching-colored icons for a UI without reopening a vector design tool

If a color in your SVG doesn't show up in the detected list, check whether it's defined inside a
