With an icon

Flash components with icons inside of them will automatically set the correct color for the icon depending on the type of Flash, as well as applying the correct right margin.

<Flash variant="success">
  <StyledOcticon icon={CheckIcon} />
  Success!
</Flash>

<Flash variant="success">
  <StyledOcticon icon={CheckIcon} />
  Success!
</Flash>
