I created shapes (icons) in photoshop and copied / pasted into illustrator in order to save as SVG, but I need to make one half of each icon (each 2-component icons) a different color.

I'm pretty new to Illustrator, so this may be trivial but I have no idea how to do it. Perhaps I have to create multiple layers for different shapes to have different colors, but I also have some of the shapes masking others, so I'm not sure how that works out.

Select > Select All
Click the Merge button on the Pathfinder Panel
Click the white shapes and delete them
Click the bottom shape and change the color

Note I'm using the Direct Selection Tool (the white arrow) for a reason here. You should do the same.

Ok if I got you right, you just need to draw the rectangle (it seems you have it already) to divide your circle into (shoulder and bottom part which you'll remove later), select to objects circle and rectangle go pathfinders / devide

remove the rect and the bottom part
select it and change the color.
save as / svg
