Change fill color inside svg using JQuery

Question

I have an SVG image that is embedded inside 'img src' tag. The svg contains different paths with a color, each separated by id. I want to change the fill color inside each id using jquery

Below are the codes i've used. But the color is not changing. By searching a lot, i found that if svg is added directly to the html, it will work. A working example: http://jsfiddle.net/P6t2B/

But how can I achieve it if it is done via 'img src' to add svg??

Inside html:

<img src="images/hands.svg" width="70px"/>

JQuery code change fill color id 'l1':

$('#l1').css({fill:"#000000"});

Sample SVG:

<path id="l1" fill="#ffffff" d="M85.6,227.3L85.6,227.3c14.2-5.7,21.1-22,15.3-36.2l-35.4-87.5c-2.5-6.1-9.5-9.1-15.6-6.6

<path id="l2" fill="#ffffff" d="M133.8,206.6L133.8,206.6c15.2-1.5,26.4-15.2,24.9-30.4L142.7,55.9

Gijo, could you try changing the `fill` property value to the variable `currentColor`, and switch colors using the `color` property? Here's a [**fiddle**](http://jsfiddle.net/rickyruizm/2ts87q17/), but cannot test without your image hosted. — Ricky Ruiz, Oct 31 '16 at 18:10
If that does not work, you will probably need to use another embedding method, like ` — Ricky Ruiz, Oct 31 '16 at 18:12

This may do the trick.

$('img.svg').each(function(){
    var $img = $(this);
    var imgClass = $img.attr('class');
    var imgURL = $img.attr('src');

    $.get(imgURL, function(data) {
        var $svg = $(data).find('svg');
        if(typeof imgClass !== 'undefined') {
            $svg = $svg.attr('class', imgClass+' style-color-black');
        }
        $svg = $svg.removeAttr('xmlns:a');
        $img.replaceWith($svg);
    }, 'xml');

});
