Lazur I . . . I'm sorry but I don't have a blessed clue what you're talking about!!
Please explain? or point me to a tutorial discussing your recommendation? You're dealing with a
NÔÔB!

Raspi you rock! Thank you for hunting down that larger image.

Moini I am aware that GIMP could probably do this much easier but the resource load is
enormous ! Just turning GIMP on is like watching your memory drain into a giant suck hole. I literally cannot have anything else running if I have to use it, it's so bloated. Thank you nonetheless. I'll think about it.

Everyone . . .Given how frequently I need to do this — colorize rough, crude greyscale images flooded with anti-aliasing as the result of rasterized text placed in the graphic at low DPIs — I was hoping you might recommend something that could do this with a
low resource footprint.
Above you'll see I've uploaded a version of Whisky I created with a free graphics editor called Pixbuilder which I like because it has a small footprint. See that "halo" of GREEN? That is the result I get when I use Pixbuilder's "colorize" feature. I deliberately choose GREEN because it's loud enough for you to see it.
See how the letters are still WHITE? That's what I'm referring to when I say the letter's "core" color: the letters should be GREEN. If whisky were inverted (black lettering on a white background) the letter's "core" color would be BLACK and it would be BLACK that I was trying fill with a color — not just the edges (the "halo" I mentioned earlier). This issue has hounded me for so many years I am determined to find a solution. You'd think that "colorizing" that whisky graphic GREEN would actually make the letters green.
Does that help? Thank you for your suggestions and let me know if I need to explain what I mean by "core".

I thank you nonetheless for all the time you invested in it and I'll go back and see if I can follow more of it. 
and set about to pull the lettering closer to parchment/sand hues. And I want to see if it looks better with the colors inverted: black lettering on a parchment/sand hue background.
