All you need is to set color: yellow. Because the icons are a font, they will take whatever colour you'd set to any other font (text) in the same way.

if you want to fill the whole star as yellow, try icon-star instead of icon-star-empty

you can try this

-webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px;
-webkit-text-stroke-color: orange;

to add stroke (outline) to the font itself. I hope thats what you are looking for.

and to fill it just use the normal

color: yellow;
