SVG sprites - light system and colors

I'm successfully using the SVG importer to import SVGs into my projects and use them as sprites for my 2D game. 0 problems with that, it's working flawlessly.

By the way, I'm having issues (probably due to my little experience with shaders and lighting) with coloring/alpha-ing or giving a shader to my SVG sprites. With normal sprites I can change the SpriteRenderer color (and this impacts the sprite color itself), the alpha to create transparency effects and also use lights with a material with the Sprite/Diffuse shader.

With SVG sprites none of those is working. I can't change the color (or better: I change it but this not affect the sprite itself), and giving a material with the Sprite/Diffuse shader seems to have no effect with the lighting system.

I noticed that an imported SVG has an internal prefab with a SpriteRenderer carrying a Ulit shader, but I don't know if this is related.

Any advices on how to use SVG with color and lighting system? Is it possible or am I going in a wrong direction?

 

I have the same problem; have you found any solution?
