To change the fill colors within an SVG image by button click in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Drag the SVG element onto your Webflow canvas: To import an SVG image, simply drag the SVG file from your computer and drop it onto the desired section of your canvas in the Webflow Designer.

  2. Give the SVG element a unique class name: Select the SVG element by clicking on it, and then navigate to the right-hand sidebar in the Designer. Under the "Settings" tab, you can assign a unique class name to the SVG element. This will allow you to target it with custom CSS code.

  3. Create custom CSS code: Open the Custom Code panel by clicking on the "</>" icon in the Webflow Designer. In the "Head" section, you can add the following CSS code to target the specific SVG element and change its fill color:

.svg-classname path {  fill: [color];}

Replace .svg-classname with your unique class name and [color] with the desired color code or name (e.g., "red" or "#ff0000"). You can repeat this code for each path element within your SVG image that you want to target, making sure to adjust the class name accordingly.

  1. Create a button element: Drag and drop a button element onto your canvas in the desired location.

  2. Add an interaction to the button: With the button selected, navigate to the right-hand sidebar and click on the "Interactions" tab. Add a new interaction and choose the "Button Click" trigger option.

  3. Add a "Set Element Style" action: In the interaction settings panel, click the "+" button to add a new action. Select the "Set Element Style" option from the dropdown menu.

  4. Target the SVG element and update its fill color: In the "Set Element Style" action settings, choose the SVG element by typing its class name (e.g., .svg-classname) in the "Affect" field. Then, choose the "Background Color" property and define the value as the desired color code or name.

  5. Preview and publish: Preview your website to see the changes in action. If everything looks good, publish your site to make the changes live.

By following these steps, you can dynamically change the fill colors within your SVG image by button click in Webflow.
