Delete a color
I will go ahead and apologize upfront. I'm a total newb to inkscape and vectors. I have had a bit of luck so far but i am striking out today. I have a .svg that i am working with that has two colors in it. What i want to do is delete the black so i am left with just the green. I know this probably super simple but i have been searching Bing and the forum search for over an hour. What is the best way to do this please?!

Re: Delete a color
It's hard to tell what kinds of elements your .svg file is made up of because you posted a .png image. I think the general answer is going to be to use the Path > Exclusion tool to remove the black path's shape from the green one. If either is made of multiple paths, you can first use Path > Combine to group the back paths, and then use the same to group the black paths. Hope this helps.

Looks like i can remove all black but what i need is all black to show transparent so it leaves just green. Looks like the two road lines are cutouts in the black road so when i remove black the lines disappear. i have included svg if that helps.
