Indicators library in svg, vml or canvas

Question

I am working on an application where I need to display color coded indicators. The standard colors will be red/amber/green, but I need to be able to pick any color (e.g. by hex value). The colors are updated dynamically by a script, based on data (dashboard style).

Are there libraries that could help me? I am thinking in particular about using svg or canvas graphics that the script could modify.

Note: the question has been rephrased to better explain the context.

Answer 1

Here are a couple of links to start with:

• nounproject
• openiconlibrary
• openclipart
• small iconset for use with raphaël

Answer 2

I like this collection on WikiCommons. They are in SVG
