Recolouring one colour in an icon
Surgical, not global
Only pixels matching the colour you name change. A two-colour icon can have one of them updated while the other stays put, which is what makes this right for theming rather than a blanket tint.
Icons match cleanly
Because icons are usually flat colour, a low tolerance around 15 catches the whole shape plus its anti-aliased edge. Photographs need far more; icons rarely do.
Building theme variants
Run the same swap across a set and you get a consistent second colourway without reopening the source files. It is the fastest route to a dark-mode or accent-coloured icon family when the originals are not to hand.
Transparency is not touched
Alpha is not part of the match, so transparent areas stay transparent and the glyph keeps its exact silhouette.
For a whole-icon tint, use One Colour
If you want every colour in the icon mapped onto a single hue rather than one colour swapped, that is a different job. The Logo to One Colour tool does it and works just as well on icons.
How to change icon colours
Upload the icon
Drop in the icon. Flat-colour icons swap most cleanly.

How to Replace a Color in Canva (What's Possible on Elements, and What Isn't on Uploads)
Canva can swap colors on vector elements one swatch at a time. On an uploaded photo or PNG there is no per-color control at all — here is the full picture, including the Duotone approximation and its limits.
How to Remove a Background in Figma (There Is No Built-In Way — Here Is What Works)
Figma has no background removal feature. The honest options are a third-party plugin that uploads your image to its vendor, or a hand-drawn vector mask — plus when each is actually the right call.
How to Make a Duotone in Photoshop (Gradient Map vs Duotone Mode)
Photoshop has two duotone features and the one named Duotone is usually the wrong one. Why Image > Mode > Duotone demands a Grayscale conversion, why Gradient Map is what you actually want, and how to keep it editable.
