Find the SVG of your liking, there are free resources:

Then use an encoder https://yoksel.github.io/url-encoder/ to convert the SVG to a data URL that can be used in CSS without having to load an external image. Make sure you modify the "fill" attribute in the SVG to your desired color. For example fill='%234a5568' where the %23 is just the url escaped equivalent of #4a5568. If the color string is not escaped, then it won't work.
