Unless you provide more information, in particular the image in question or a meaningful screenshot (including the relevant Panels), it might be difficult to provide pertinent advice.

Hi

This is just a gradient fill layer - set to radial and with blending mode set to color at the top of the layer stack

Hi Dave Thanks

I'm just looking to change to a single color - Red.

I tried  "Save For Web (Legacy), but double click on individual colors in the export dialog's Color Table, to change that specific color"  but the GIF is only showing grayed out Color Table.

When I get the colors working how do I get each individual circle in the GIF to change to RED

Thanks

Yes but is there a background below those text images? There was in my example.

Hi Dave,

I have added a red color of last layer/below of all layers to show the transparency.

I have given a new file and added a red color box/object with transparency and applied a green color fill and used color blending.

But I am still getting a color remaining background.

What you see is as expected.

And again:

You could alternatively use a Gradient Overlay Layer instead of a Solid Color Layer, that should not count as pixel content.

Hi

Sorry I've just edited my answer - I should have said there is a white background below the grey layers in my example.

How often do I have to repeat that a Gradient Overlay Adjustment Layer provides an alternative?

And there is the problem, isn’t it?

I can think of a couple of approaches, depending on what sort of change you want.

Open the GIF in Photoshop. It will come in as a bunch of layers, one for each frame. If your animation is like a video, with a wide range of colors, you could put a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer as the topmost layer, and you can adjust the color in the Properties panel. When you add the Adjustment Layer, it will come in with a mask, which you can paint on to restrict the effect to specific areas.When you have things the way you want, File > Export > Save For Web (Legacy).

If your animation is simple, with only a few colors, you could just open it in Photoshop, and Save For Web (Legacy), but double click on individual colors in the export dialog's Color Table, to change that specific color.
