You may use the painscale icons below under Creative Commons CC BY 4.0
The idea of the above pain scale icons is to generate them programmatically to give a proportional expression in terms of color and mouth expression.
The Icons are also available at Wikimedia Commons Category:Pain Scale. Click on any of the icons above to get to those files. Please note that the SVG gradient used is not properly rendered in the PNG preview of the files as of 2021-08.
Properly PNG rendered icons
The properly rendered icons are:
The following script creates the above icons:
generate pain scale icons
Since the HSL color space is used directly you'll need SVG 2 support to render these. If you have an older library use the script for the Wikimedia Commons below.
