JSON Clickable Action and sp-field-quickActions

Hi,

I'm trying to format a quickfield action to open a task view link.

Everything works as intended but I can't format the icon; the most it does is change to red when using the sp-field-trending--down class but if I use the sp-field-quickActions, it simply ignores it and displays as a regular ugly blue/purple hyperlink. I want to use a red or blue color (no ugly underline and make it a little bit bigger), any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the code:

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "debugMode": true,
  "elmType": "div",
  "children": [
    {
      "elmType": "span",
      "style": {
        "padding-right": "8px"
      },
      "txtContent": "[$ID]"
    },
    {
      "elmType": "a",
      "attributes": {
        "iconName": "=if([$Tasks_x0020_List] > 0,'TaskLogo', '')",
        "class": "sp-field-quickActions",
        "target": "_blank",
        "href": {
          "operator": "+",
          "operands": [
            "https://-----.sharepoint.com/eQMS/Lists/Customer%20Complaints%20Tasks/AllItems.aspx#InplviewHash2000000e63d8bd3fdec=FilterField1%3DComplaint%255Fx0020%255FID-FilterValue1%3D",
            "[$ID]"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Here's the result:

AngeloEG So there are few things to mention:

sp-field-quickActions class does not exist - there is only sp-field-quickAction, but this does not matter.
These are the properties you will find in quickAction

.sp-field-quickAction {
  padding: 0;
}
[dir="ltr"] .sp-field-quickAction {
  padding-left: 8px;
}
[dir="rtl"] .sp-field-quickAction {
  padding-right: 8px;
}

So literally nothing that could make your icon more colorful.

3. You render <A/> and you get OOTB browser experience, that is why you get treatment with underline and colors for :visited

You can use something like this to get you started, and use fonts and colors right:

    "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
    "debugMode": true,
    "elmType": "div",
    "children": [
      {
        "elmType": "span",
        "txtContent": "Whatever",
        "attributes": {
            "class": "sp-field-quickAction"
        }
      },
      {
        "elmType": "a",
        "style":{
            "text-decoration": "inherit",
            "color": "inherit",
            "font-size": "inherit",
            "font-weight":"inherit"
        },
        "attributes": {
          "class": "sp-field-quickAction sp-field-iconRightAligned",
          "iconName": "TaskLogo",
          "target": "_blank",
          "href": "/"
        }
      }
    ]
  }

  Thank you very much orchee that solved the problem! Yous insight is most appreciated.
  
  Quick, question, where did you find the definition for the classes? I tried inspecting the webpage but ended up with a blob of definitions, so it was trying to find a needle on a haystack.

    AngeloEGHappy to hear that!
    
    I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I do not have any special access to css files, I'm using source code and find function, the only tip I can give is to copy whole <style> sections to VS Code and prettify it for some clarity.
