    My previous post assumed that your designation of Black was 100% black. It is actually two shades of gray. In that case, make a duplicate layer of image, select and mask the graph and the the key (strip of boxes). Then choose the image symbol to the left of the mask in the Layers panel and Edit > Fill with the Foreground (Cyan) color and the Fill Bending mode set to Color.

    You can use:
    - Gradient map Adjustment from Image > Adjustment > Gradient map.
    or

    - Using any adjustment like Channel Mixer/Hue & Saturation with Colorize ...

    But it is depending on what you need exactly.

    Text black, the rest cyan.

    It seems your type and image are on the same layer. The black will remain black if you:

    Set the Foreground Color to Cyan and then

    Edit > Fill with Foreground Color with the Blending mode set to Color.

    Hi

    Try a gradient map adjustment layer - mapping black to black and other shades to shades of Cyan
