I do exactly the same with the Mash-logo.svg on chrome but background simply doesn't change.

Here are the details:

-Drag the Mash-logo.svg image to Chrome. -It shows up in Chrome -Tools-->Developer tools -Styles-->element.style { --> background: blue -Everything looks the same but background remains the same.

Chrome Ver. 48.0.2564.103 m Windows 8 Ver. 6.3 (compilation 9600)

Thanks for your help :)

I found out that the change comes up until I close the Developer tools. Thanks for your answers.

If you want to see the logo better, use background on any elements behind your logo. For example. where these styles are. press + and write:

 body {
   background-color: gray;
}

this will do the trick

I figured this out. I was having the same issue. In the developer tools, on the top left corner you will see an icon of a mouse pointing to a screen and an icon of a phone and a tablet. Click the icon of the phone and tablet and then click back to the icon of the mouse pointing to a screen. That should do the trick!

This didn't work for me... plus it doesn't autofill "background" like it does in the video?

Following the steps, but no colors show up in the background. Using Google Chrome.
