This answer is based on answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/24933495/3890888 but with a plain JavaScript version of the script used there.

You need to make the SVG to be an inline SVG. You can make use of this script, by adding a class svg to the image:

/*
 * Replace all SVG images with inline SVG
 */
document.querySelectorAll('img.svg').forEach(function(img){
    var imgID = img.id;
    var imgClass = img.className;
    var imgURL = img.src;

    fetch(imgURL).then(function(response) {
        return response.text();
    }).then(function(text){

        var parser = new DOMParser();
        var xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(text, "text/xml");

        // Get the SVG tag, ignore the rest
        var svg = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('svg')[0];

        // Add replaced image's ID to the new SVG
        if(typeof imgID !== 'undefined') {
            svg.setAttribute('id', imgID);
        }
        // Add replaced image's classes to the new SVG
        if(typeof imgClass !== 'undefined') {
            svg.setAttribute('class', imgClass+' replaced-svg');
        }

        // Remove any invalid XML tags as per http://validator.w3.org
        svg.removeAttribute('xmlns:a');

        // Check if the viewport is set, if the viewport is not set the SVG wont't scale.
        if(!svg.getAttribute('viewBox') && svg.getAttribute('height') && svg.getAttribute('width')) {
            svg.setAttribute('viewBox', '0 0 ' + svg.getAttribute('height') + ' ' + svg.getAttribute('width'))
        }

        // Replace image with new SVG
        img.parentNode.replaceChild(svg, img);

    });

});

And then, now if you do:

.logo-img path {
  fill: #000;
}

Or may be:

.logo-img path {
  background-color: #000;
}
