Smaller than text icons are usually sized no smaller than 0.85em and larger icons up to 2.5em.
- Color: If you want the color to be different from the surrounding text, you can specify any web color (e.g., a color name like blue or a hex-valuesuch as #0059b3 for a more specific blue). A list of web colors can be found at https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_picker.asp
