Hello Barbie

It's the black that is the problem: if you want to make an element recolourable (if that's a word!) it is best made in grey R128 G128 B128.

Your best solution is to try and make it grey by using the Hue & Saturation effect: take Hue and Saturation down to 0 and then play with the Lightness control until you see a mid-grey colour. You should then find it easier to change the alpha to your desired colour.

Hope that helps!
