Styling

By default, the icon will inherit the current font colour of the container it is placed within. You can easily provide a specific colour using an inline style on the element (style="color: red") or can target the tag as normal with CSS rules.

Accessibility

You should make use of aria attributes to improve accessibility for users that use screen reading technology. You can use aria-labelledby to create a link between an icon and its label. A descriptive aria-label can be used to allow screen readers to announce an icon if there is no visual label to accompany it.
