I’ve uploaded this SVG icon as our “large icon” but the colors all got mashed into one green. The logo shown in this post also suffers from that transformation.

Here’s the same file, zipped. The original shows different shades of yellow and green.

Hello,

It seems the problem is this SVG contains embedded image base64 which is not rendering. I think there is no a possible workaround for this right now. 🤔 Probably the best way is what @Lilly suggested or maybe recreates the SVG without embedded images but I am not too familiar with this. 🙂
