Examples

Basic example

Use utilities like stroke-indigo-500 and stroke-lime-600 to change the stroke color of an SVG:

<svg class="stroke-cyan-500 ...">  <!-- ... --></svg>

This can be useful for styling icon sets like Heroicons.

Using the current color

Use the stroke-current utility to set the stroke color to the current text color:

Hover over the button to see the stroke color change

<button class="bg-white text-pink-600 hover:bg-pink-600 hover:text-white ...">  <svg class="size-5 stroke-current ..." fill="none">    <!-- ... -->  </svg>  Download file</button>

Using a custom value

Use the stroke-[<value>] syntax to set the stroke color based on a completely custom value:

<svg class="stroke-[#243c5a] ...">  <!-- ... --></svg>

For CSS variables, you can also use the stroke-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<svg class="stroke-(--my-stroke-color) ...">  <!-- ... --></svg>

This is just a shorthand for stroke-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Responsive design

Prefix a stroke utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<svg class="stroke-cyan-500 md:stroke-cyan-700 ...">  <!-- ... --></svg>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.

Customizing your theme

Use the --color-* theme variables to customize the color utilities in your project:

@theme {  --color-regal-blue: #243c5a; }

Now the stroke-regal-blue utility can be used in your markup:

<svg class="stroke-regal-blue">  <!-- ... --></svg>
