How to set the color of an icon in Angular Material?

That’s because the color input only accepts three attributes: "primary", "accent" or "warn". Hence, you’ll have to style the icons the CSS way:

1. Add a class to style your icon:

   .white-icon {
       color: white;
   }
   /* Note: If you're using an SVG icon, you should make the class target the `<svg>` element */
   .white-icon svg {
       fill: white;
   }
   

2. Add the class to your icon:

   <mat-icon class="white-icon">menu</mat-icon>
