Why does my layers change colour when I open them?

Hi everyone

So I have document where I already opened 3 layers. When I wan't to open my 4th layer it completely changes appearance. The image connected here is a picture of a black Wifi symbol, but when I open it, it looks like this:

I hope someone can help me, I feel like I have tried google everything!!

Maybe it eg. GIF o 8 bit PNG file = different color mode?

It's Smart Object? Linked Smart Object?

Maybe try to normally Open your wifi file - check color mode. Image >Mode and select RGB or CMYK - depends of your destination document. Then drag this object to your work

maybe it helps?

If this is a PNG and you have PS CC2018 on a MAC try going to Preferences > Plug-ins and disable these options then restart Photoshop
