If you are using the SVGs from the symbol factory, the `fill` style rule you set on the style of the _component_ is likely being overwritten at the _element_ level for each piece of the SVG.

You can change these colors for each element of the component like so manually like so:

> You can change the color of symbol factory svgs, you just need to locate the element within the Symbol Factory svg you want to change, and look for the fill property within the structure.

There may be a way to do an overlay like how is recommended in Vision, but I am not aware of how to achieve that in Perspective.
