      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


      Put a solid color fill layer at the top of the layer stack. Set the blending mode to color

      Then Export - Save for web with settings as shown

      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.

        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.

        Sorry .... but the animation won't be transparent after adding a white background.

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