: How can I change a multi-coloured logo into a single colour logo in Photoshop? I'd like to convert some client logos into a single light grey colour #BFBFBF. The logos are in PNG and JPEG

@Alves566

If you're logo is on a solid white background such as the case than first let's remove that real quick using Blend-If and then rasterizing it (if your logo is already on a transparent background just skip this step):

Layer -> Layer Style -> Blending Options then pull in the Blend-If Slider to remove the white background:



Now make that into a Smart Object by right clicking it and converting to smart object.

Finally create a Color Adjustment Layer of Black, White, Pink, whatever you want. Turn it into a Clipping Mask by holding alt and clicking between the two layers. Alternatively you can go to Layer -> Make Clipping Mask:

For examples like the one in your question, you can use a Solid Color layer with a blending mode.


Open the image in Photoshop.
In the Layers panel, select the circular icon at the bottom to Create new fill or adjustment layer


Select Solid Color from the list that opens.


Input the colour you want in the hexadecimal box at the bottom right of the box that pops up and press OK. You can select the colour through other methods of your choosing, and you can select a different colour later by double clicking on the Solid Color layer thumbnail at any time.


For this specific logo and the colour you want, the blending mode that works perfectly fine is Lighter Color. Select the Lighter Color Blend Mode from the dropdown list in the layers panel.






Other logos or a different target colour may require different blending modes, and complex logos or ones with backgrounds may not work with the blend mode method at all. Logos like the one you've provided work perfectly fine though.

You could use the wand tool, 'W', select everything in the logo, change the foreground color to #BFBFBF and hit Alt + Backspace
