I worked on a project that did something fun with SVGs like this. It was built with React, and we had a series of still illustrations with an animated element, with its colour controlled by a CMS.
The frontend would basically call an API that would return an SVG image with the right colour assigned and the animation done by hiding and showing svg elements.
