which software did you use to create the svg?

Maybe my thread will barely assist you: Fail to open SVG graphics as SVG Marker in QGIS.

Otherwise, it would be nice to see your SVG markup (code).

I downloaded a jpeg image and converted it online to svg. This worked fine for another icon (although to be fair, that one was black to start with). @Taras where can I find the code?

There are several ways: 1) you can open yourSVGwith any text/code editor, e.g.Notepad++2) you can open it with your browser and proceed then withF12

which software did you use to create the svg?

Maybe my thread will barely assist you: Fail to open SVG graphics as SVG Marker in QGIS.

Otherwise, it would be nice to see your SVG markup (code).

Dec 6 at 12:24
I downloaded a jpeg image and converted it online to svg. This worked fine for another icon (although to be fair, that one was black to start with). @Taras where can I find the code?

You can simply do it directly in QGIS (works both 2.18 and 3.0.3)
Layer Properties > Draw Effects > Effect Properties
Open your SVG "Layer Properties" and click "Draw Effects" and then open the Star symbol "Customize effects" 
.
Then use "Colorise" as an "Effect type"

You need to edit the SVG file and replace the
fill="#000000" stroke="none"
by something like
fill="param(fill) #FFF" stroke="param(outline) #000" stroke-width="param(outline-width) 1"
the "param(xxx)" part allow you to set the xxx parameter from the qgis interface, the #XXX part is the default color.
For a more detailled explanation see this answer How to create svg symbols that have modifiable fill color, stroke color and stroke width?

This is the best answer, IMO, as it also enables changing styling of image objects in the map composer. I've been doing this for SVG images for a while now when I wanted to be able to style logos directly in the composer and this method doesn't require to dig into a couple dialogs to change the color.

Using notepad++ (or any other decent text editor) simply change in this part
<g transform="translate(0.000000,390.000000) scale(0.100000,-0.100000)"
fill="#000000" stroke="none">
the code for "fill" to any desired color. E.g. fill="rgb(0,255,0)" for a green symbol.
