Working with SVG images

Hello treehousers,

I would like to ask how do i change a color of a svg image in CSS ?

I have a CSS element id #icon-box-1 and i am loading the svg file like this :

icon-box-1 {

background: url('icon.svg') center no-repeat; backgroun-size: 40px; background-color: #blue; margin-top: 220px }

But i could not figure out how do fill the color for the svg image. Also what i want is to change that color when you hover on that element.

Perhaps this is what you're looking for.

svg:hover #icon-box-1 { fill: fuchsia; }
