As a icon font, anything you want to do with it is via CSS. So they can be any color, have a shadow, etc, but unless someone wants to get clever, the icons have to be any single color.

I could make component pieces that have color CSS coded and stack, like a yellow sun on a white cloud that are positioned on top of one another, but that would be a massive undertaking I don't think I could commit to.

If you were to release this set as SVG, color would get a lot easier. It'd also open up the possibility of adding animation. For example: http://codepen.io/noahblon/details/lxukH
So someone made the wrong choice - font vs image.
