How do I change the color of an md-icon in Angular Material?
I'm on angular-material 0.8, and I simply added
style="color:white;font:bold;" to the md-icon element.
For the people trying to color their md-icon, I found out that I had the same problem using Angular 1.3.x and Angular Material 0.8.x.
I fixed the problem by editing my SVG files and deleting the "fill" attribute that was overriding any inherited color.
After deleting this "fill" attribute in each SVG file, I could properly choose the color I wanted to assign to the icon thanks to CSS as specified by Jason Aunkst.
The SVG is under the md-icon, so you could add this to your style:
md-icon { color: red}md-icon svg { fill: inherit;}
