I have an image:



Over this i want to overlay solid colors in some regions. Those regions are colored black here.



I want the black color to be blue.

Now I have the raw image. How do I massage it to create the second image with black replaced by blue? One option was Gimp select by color. But then select by color also selects all black regions in the image even inside the map.

Worst case I will proceed with that.

Is there a way to do it in Inkscape? I Googled and think it can be done through layers option in Inkscape, but how exactly?

If you use the fuzzy-select (magic wand) it will only select the contiguous areas and so won't select things inside the colored parts bits.

However if you still have both images, you can load them both as layers in on Gimp image, make the blackened one visible, use it as a guide to create a polygon selection (lasso tool, just shift click on corners) and activate the other mayer and bucket-fill the resulting selection
