Background Help

Hello, I need to add a background color to the attached photo that blends in with the rest of the image and does not cover up the text. Can someone help me with this? I have tried simply adding a background color, but it covers up the text or I can't figure out how to not make it cover up the text.

What's the color you want?

I'd probably add a solid color layer and use "Blend If".  Use the Underlying Layer slider to target only the white background. Note that the slider can be split for a softer onset, and it can be used per channel. Here the blue channel might give the best result.

Can you tell me how to do this? I would like to use a light pink or red color to fill in the white background so that it can be used on our website.

Mask out to retain the white in the flower.

Hold Alt to split the Blend If sliders.
