If you’d like to accurately apply a flat colour to a PNG with transparency, while maintaining the transparency, there’s many ways Photoshop can do it.

• Open the PNG.


• Choose Layer → Layer Style → Color Overlay



• Choose a colour (using normal blending mode and 100% opacity).


• You’re done!
