I like the idea. Maybe you can use filter for a similar effect:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

<style type="text/css"><![CDATA[

]]></style>
<filter id="fcolored">
<feFlood flood-color="blue"
result="out1" />
<feComposite in="out1" in2="SourceGraphic"

<feBlend in="SourceGraphic" in2="out2"

</filter>
<g id="giftbox">
