Font Awesome icon not changing color based on React state

Font awesome icon is not changing color based on react state, I have an app which shows random quotes and display random color in background, new quote button and twitter icon. On first reload twitter icon color is changing as intended, however, when new quote button is clicked it stays the same. Here is my code

import React from 'react';
import './style.scss';
import randomColor from 'randomcolor';
import '@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.css';
import '@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/js/all.js';

const quotes = [

                        style={{
                            backgroundColor: this.state.color,
                            border: 'solid 1px ' + this.state.color,
                        }}
                    >
                        New Quote
                    </button>
                </div>
            </div>
        );
    }
}

export default App;

To diagnose the problem I have specifically made a div box of 20 x 20px, every element is changing color upon click on new quote button except font awesome twitter icon.

Answer

If you don’t want to use react-fontawesome, then use color: this.state.color at the parent component of your <i> tag.

     <a
        style={{
          color: this.state.color
        }}
        id="tweet-quote"
        href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet"
      >
        <i className="fa-brands fa-twitter-square fa-2xl"></i>
      </a>
