<p>The goal was to be able to create custom style sheets and allow for the coloring of icons</p>
<p>For this code to work well the starting color needs to be black. If your icon set isn't black you can prepend "brightness(0) saturate(100%)" to your filter property which will first turn the icon set to black.</p>
<p>
For as long as I worked on creating this solution from multiple resources I found some had spent far
longer to create this already completed solution. Only slightly modified to focus on HEX colors. Credit
