Multi-Colored Single Icon

Multi-colored single icon

With multiple background you can do it but as I wrote in this pevious answer it remain specific to this particular icon:

.fa-chrome {  font-size: 3rem;  background:       linear-gradient(to bottom left, transparent 49%,#ea4335 50%) 105% 0%  /37% 30%,      linear-gradient(to bottom right,transparent 49%,#fbbc05 50%) 64% 100% /35% 43%,           radial-gradient(farthest-side, #4285f4 46%,transparent 47%),      linear-gradient( 47deg,        #34a853 42%,transparent 43%),      linear-gradient(-72deg,        #fbbc05 42%,transparent 43%),      linear-gradient(-199deg,       #ea4335 42%,transparent 43%);  background-repeat:no-repeat;  color: transparent;  -webkit-background-clip: text;  background-clip: text;}

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.12.0/css/all.css"><i class="fab fa-chrome fa-8x"></i><i class="fab fa-chrome fa-5x"></i><i class="fab fa-chrome fa-3x"></i>

FontAwesome 5 - Multi color icon

By using gradient for the color and two icons we may achieve this but it remains a hacky way and you need to handle each case (icon + coloration) specifically:

.fa-google path{
  fill:url(#grad1);
}
.fa-google + .fa-google path{
  fill:url(#grad2);
}
.icon {
  display:inline-block;
  position:relative;
}
.fa-google + .fa-google {
   position:absolute;
   left:0;
   top:0;
   clip-path: polygon(0% 0%,120% 0%,0% 75%);
}

<script defer src="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.3.1/js/all.js" ></script>
<svg style="width:0;height:0;">
  <defs>
    <linearGradient id="grad1" x1="0%" y1="30%" x2="50%" y2="0%">
      <stop offset="50%" stop-color="#34a853" />
      <stop offset="50%" stop-color="#4285f4" />
    </linearGradient>
    <linearGradient id="grad2" x1="0%" y1="30%" x2="50%" y2="0%">
      <stop offset="50%" stop-color="#fbbc05" />
      <stop offset="50%" stop-color="#ea4335" />
    </linearGradient>
  </defs>
</svg>
<div class="icon"> 
<i class="fab fa-google fa-7x"></i>
<i class="fab fa-google fa-7x"></i>
</div>

create multicolor icons. Icomoon

Creating multicolored icon fonts with icomoon is fairly easy but it combines them from multiple glyphs off course and seems to have no knowledge of a "default" color (the color which can be changed from the parent class) - so we need do define it as inherit in the CSS :

1) Create your SVGs with your favorite vector app like Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.

Important : Icomoon (and anything else) will use one glyph for each colored path in the SVG, so make sure to join the pathes with the same color and don't use too many colors …

Illustrator makes it easy to join compound pathes : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbc3q9bfOH8 and to join objects: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/999/how-do-i-combine-two-objects-into-one-in-illustrator …

2) Make your icomoon font.

3) Determine your "default" color in the CSS - lets say it is rgb(62, 55, 60);:

In [class^="icon-"], [class*=" icon-"] { add

/* default color */
color: rgb(62, 55, 60);

and remove every other line reading

color: rgb(62, 55, 60);

or to be explicit change it to

color: inherit;

That's it.

When I only use two colors (e.g. the darkgrey and orange) properly joined I would never get more than two children in the icon and I could change the darkgrey from the root node <span class="icon-myIconName"> ...

Here is a working codepen with a 2-color font used with only one element where you can change the color …

Multi color on font awesome icon with css

Everything is possible in web design but maybe you manage to use some trick:

i{  float:left;  position: relative;}.ratingbox{    display: block;    clear: both;}.fa-star-half-o,.fa-star{    color: #ffab00;  }.rated{    color: #ffab00;    cursor: pointer;}
.unrated{    color: #757575;    cursor: pointer;}
.fa-star-half-empty:after, .fa-star-half-full:after, .fa-star-half-o:after {    content: "\f123";    transform: rotateY(-180deg);    display: inline-block;    left: 6px;    position: absolute;    top: 0;    color: #757575;    overflow: hidden;    width: 8px;}

How to change the color of a icon among multiple icons one at a time using click event in angular

<div class="container">
    <button *ngFor="let btn of btnArr" type="button" class="buttonstyle"
        [style.background-color]="selectedButton === btn ? '#FF0000' : 'grey'" (click)="selectedButton = btn">
        {{btn}}
    </button>
</div>

<div class="container">
    <i (click)="selectedIcon = icon.id" class="smiley" [ngClass]="icon.class"
        [style.color]="selectedIcon === icon.id ? '#FF0000' : '#000000'" *ngFor="let icon of iconsArr"></i>
</div>

In component ts file

btnArr = ["BUTTON-1", "BUTTON-2", "BUTTON-3", "BUTTON-4", "BUTTON-5", "BUTTON-6"];
selectedButton = "";

iconsArr = [
        { id: 1, class: "icon-face-1" },
        { id: 2, class: "icon-face-2" },
        { id: 3, class: "icon-face-3" },
        { id: 4, class: "icon-face-4" },
        { id: 5, class: "icon-face-5" },
        { id: 6, class: "icon-face-6" }
    ];
    selectedIcon = 0;
