Grey out emoji characters (HTML / CSS)












7















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>

If you're looking to just change the emoji color 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 Emjois and thus they may become corrupt if opened in one. You can use this unicode lookup to find the HTML entity version of your unicode characters.

    You can use text shadow



    <button disabled> 🎨_myText </button>

    <p style="color:transparent; text-shadow: 0 0 0 grey;">
    👎_myText2
    </p>
