My current issue is that I am trying to grey out a button with emojis in it.
Nevertheless it seems that, due the nature of emojis, it is not possible to change the color using HTML / CSS properties.
I.e.:
<button disabled> 🎨_myText </button>
<p style="color:grey">
👎_myText2
</p>
Emojis in CSS All you have to do is remove the U+ from the unicode endpoint and add the \0 (slash zero) characters just before it.
Emoji Characters Emojis are also characters from the UTF-8 alphabet: 😄 is 128516. 😍 is 128525. 💗 is 128151.
Emojis can be inserted in HTML documents by specifying charset to UTF-8 that will be used while displaying the web pages in the browser. This character encoding information is specified by using <meta> tag in the head section. After declaration of charset, emojis can be added in HTML by using <p> and <span> tags.
If you're looking to just change the Emoji colour to grey, you can do so using filter: grayscale
:
<button style="filter: grayscale(100%);" disabled>🎨_myText</button>
<p style="color:grey; filter: grayscale(100%);">👎_myText2</p>
As a side note, I suggest you use HTML entities for representing Emojis. Not all text editors support Emojis and so they may become corrupt if opened in one. You can use this unicode lookup to find the HTML entity version of your Unicode characters.
If you wish to colour your Emojis in other colours see this answer
You can use text shadow
<button disabled> 🎨_myText </button>
<p style="color:transparent; text-shadow: 0 0 0 grey;">
👎_myText2
</p>
