I would think someone probably probably has done something like that online and has a css that you could copy from and adjust to what your asking the css to do.

Those are images in base64 format (data URI). You can open these images in a Firefox tab and save them and open them in an image editing application. There you can color the images and re-save them.

You can open the edited image in a Firefox tab and use the Inspector to convert the image to a data URL.

  • right-click the image in the left pane -> Copy -> Image Data-URL

This places the image data on the clipboard, so you can paste it in the CSS code.
