In the image here:

On the right side of the image you see the Style panel. If you hover
over the style info there you see a shaded out 'x' appear which lets
you turn that style off and on. For example, clicking to the left of
"fill: #6666ff" removes the style temporarily. Changing the color has
a similar effect.

Since it is an inline style, it should just be changing the SVG
element's style attribute. There is no special code at the point for
SVG. I was a little surprised it all worked.
