I like Inkscape (I run it on Linux, but there are versions for other platforms), which implements most of static SVG (don't know about animation). This guide shows many of its features: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.html
I'm sure most if not all of them are available in Illustrator, Xara and Corel Draw.

I have not used Illustrator specifically for recoloring, but for lettering (I have a post somewhere on lettering Shunichi Makino's Akira-class starship) and extending or creating new parts (search for my threads on making articulated versions of BattleMechs [Warhammer and Osiris]). For those tasks, the poor-man's CAD abilities of vector packages, like alignment, cloning, clipping, and precise measurement, are a godsend; I suppose most also appeal to recolors.

But above all, what I like best is knowing that editing is nondestructive and elements are independent.

Oops, I meant Zosho's.
