HTML

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
  <rect
    width="300"
    height="100"
    id="myrect"
    style="fill:rgb(0 0 255);stroke-width:1;stroke:rgb(0 0 0)" />
  <text x="60" y="40" fill="white" font-size="40">Click Me</text>
</svg>

JavaScript

const myRect = document.querySelector("#myrect");

myRect.addEventListener("click", () => {
  const r = Math.floor(Math.random() * 255);
  const g = Math.floor(Math.random() * 255);
  const b = Math.floor(Math.random() * 255);
  myRect.style.fill = `rgb(${r} ${g} ${b})`;
});

Result

• <rect>
