As per link in Ross More's posting, that may mean sometimes that a
minimum of:
macOS 10.14+, iOS 12+, Windows 10+
– is required.
It's one thing to get it showing in a pdf, it's quite another sometimes
to get it into print ...
"OpenType SVG Fonts in Print: Known Issues and Recommendations
by Laura Baker
"OpenType SVG (scalable vector graphics) fonts are nothing new.
Initially intended for web-based design, OpenType SVG fonts are
beginning to appear in printed works and are causing concern in the
printing industry among designers, publishers, printers, and software
companies alike.
..."
It's perhaps worth pointing out, though, that the colour font Philip is
trying to use is *not* an OpenType-SVG font; it's a layered colour font
using the Microsoft-originated COLR and CPAL tables. This is a quite
different technology, and tools/documentation regarding the SVG table
are not relevant to it.

Here's a workout for anyone interested, as it also has tools for
outputting the SVG table and so for inspection of the colour 'glyphs'
directly if necessary for some fonts ...
"Tools and sample files for making OpenType-SVG fonts"

addsvg – adds an SVG table to a font, using SVG files provided. The
font's format can be either OpenType or TrueType.
dumpsvg – saves the contents of a font's SVG table as individual SVG
files. The font's format can be either OpenType, TrueType, WOFF, or WOFF2.
fonts2svg – generates a set of SVG glyph files from one or more fonts
and hex colors for each of them. The fonts' format can be either
OpenType, TrueType, WOFF, or WOFF2.

OK, so it could be the TeXworks previewer that is failing to shew
the colour. But to get your plain LuaTeX code to work, and not
report a missing font, I had to remove the ".ttf" extension :
% !TeX Program=LuaTeX
\magnification 900
\input luaotfload.sty
\font \bodyfont = "Minion Pro"
\font \tenit = "MinionPro-IT"
\font \smallcaps = "Minion Pro/ICU:+smcp"

\relax
\font \pieces = "BabelStoneXiangqiColour:mode=harf"

\pageheight = 59 true pc
\hsize = 25 true pc
\advance \hoffset by -1 true in

\advance \hoffset by 5 pc
\advance \voffset by 13 true pc

\Prespace ;
\Prespace :
