I have searched a lot and I found only few solutions (on google and stackoverflow so please don\'t mark this one as a duplicate unless there\'s really duplicate question), b

This code doesn't exemplify the problem, but transforms colors like this:

Uses the ALPHA channel of an image to determines coloring. For other results, just play around with imagecolorallocatealpha():

function colorizeBasedOnAplhaChannnel( $file, $targetR, $targetG, $targetB, $targetName ) {

    $im_src = imagecreatefrompng( $file );

    $width = imagesx($im_src);
    $height = imagesy($im_src);

    $im_dst = imagecreatefrompng( $file );

    // Note this:
    // Let's reduce the number of colors in the image to ONE
    imagefilledrectangle( $im_dst, 0, 0, $width, $height, 0xFFFFFF );

    for( $x=0; $x<$width; $x++ ) {
        for( $y=0; $y<$height; $y++ ) {

            $alpha = ( imagecolorat( $im_src, $x, $y ) >> 24 & 0xFF );

            $col = imagecolorallocatealpha( $im_dst,
                $targetR - (int) ( 1.0 / 255.0  * $alpha * (double) $targetR ),
                $targetG - (int) ( 1.0 / 255.0  * $alpha * (double) $targetG ),
                $targetB - (int) ( 1.0 / 255.0  * $alpha * (double) $targetB ),
                $alpha
                );

            if ( false === $col ) {
                die( 'sorry, out of colors...' );
            }

            imagesetpixel( $im_dst, $x, $y, $col );

        }

    }

    imagepng( $im_dst, $targetName);
    imagedestroy($im_dst);

}

unlink( dirname ( __FILE__ ) . '/newleaf.png' );
unlink( dirname ( __FILE__ ) . '/newleaf1.png' );
unlink( dirname ( __FILE__ ) . '/newleaf2.png' );

$img = dirname ( __FILE__ ) . '/leaf.png';
colorizeBasedOnAplhaChannnel( $img, 0, 0, 0xFF, 'newleaf1.png' );
colorizeBasedOnAplhaChannnel( $img, 0xFF, 0, 0xFF, 'newleaf2.png' );
