SVG

The implementation in CSS or with an collection of SVGs in a sprite file

Implementation in CSS

1. We create a ::before Element with background-color

 &__item::before{
        content: "";
        display: inline-block;
        height:1rem;
        width: 1rem;
        fill: var(--color-primary);

        background-color: var(--color-primary);   
    }

2. We mask the SVG, so only the SVG will appear in the background-color

&__item::before{
        content: "";
        display: inline-block;
        height:1rem;
        width: 1rem;
        fill: var(--color-primary);

        background-color: var(--color-primary);  
        
        //Newer Browser
        // -webkit-mask-image: url(../img/chevron-thin-right.svg);
        // -webkit-mask-size: cover;
        // mask-size: cover;

        //Older Browsers
        // background-image: url(../img/chevron-thin-right.svg);
        // background-size: cover;
    }

////////////////////////
// LIST
.list{
    list-style: none;
    margin: 3rem 0;
    padding: 3rem 0;
    border-top: 1px solid var(--color-grey-light-3);
    border-bottom: 1px solid var(--color-grey-light-3);

    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;

    &__item{
        //divided complete space by 2 = 50%, so every list__item
        //has a fix width
        flex: 0 0 50%;
        margin-bottom: .7rem ;
    }

    &__item::before{
        content: "";
        display: inline-block;
        height:1rem;
        width: 1rem;
        fill: var(--color-primary);

        //Newer Browsers
        background-color: var(--color-primary);
        -webkit-mask-image: url(../img/chevron-thin-right.svg);
        -webkit-mask-size: cover;
        mask-size: cover;

        //Older Browsers
        // background-image: url(../img/chevron-thin-right.svg);
        // background-size: cover;

       
    }

}

Implementation as Sprite file

Create a sprite file with icomoon.io and export it as sprite file.

       <div class="overview__stars">
            <svg class="overview__icon-star">
              <use xlink:href="img/sprite.svg#icon-star"></use>
            </svg>
            <svg class="overview__icon-star">
              <use xlink:href="img/sprite.svg#icon-star"></use>
            </svg>
            <svg class="overview__icon-star">
              <use xlink:href="img/sprite.svg#icon-star"></use>
            </svg>
            <svg class="overview__icon-star">
              <use xlink:href="img/sprite.svg#icon-star"></use>
            </svg>
            <svg class="overview__icon-star">
              <use xlink:href="img/sprite.svg#icon-star"></use>
            </svg>
        </div>

2. Set Element size and fill with color

    &__icon-star{
        width: 1.75rem;
        height: 1.75rem;
        fill: var(--color-primary);
    }

3. All 5 SVG Elements filled with color
