I have this image of water in blue.

When i add a purple color layer over it, it is no longer vibrant and very pale.

 

How do i make it more vibrant?

Correct answer c.pfaffenbichler

Do you mean a picture like below?

I have other colours and the options mentioned here don't work for all colours.

I have tried the gradient map and its seems to give me more control. I'm assuming i have to convert the image to black and white?

 


Thanks, yes on the screenshot, no on »Black & White«. 

Gradient Map works based on the »Luminance«, but the hue and sauration should not matter. 

If banding should become noticable try switching to 16bit.

So far you have not explained what »purple color layer« is exactly, its Blend Mode etc.

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible?
