change b+w trans. PNG to a Pantone color

[lettergothic]

I cannot figure out how to change a b+w, trans. PNG (an ink smear texture) to a Pantone solid or CMYK (or even RGB) color in Designer.

Image is selected
Layer>color Effects> Pantone Solid / CMYK shows color in box but isn't applied to the image

Adjustments> Recolor has no effect
Adjustments> Selective  Color has no effect

Fx> Color Overlay changes it to Red no matter what RGB color is selected 

So, I give. How do you do this?

thanks,

You can use a Gradient Map adjustment.

Blue

To green

The Map. Set what colour you want using the handle on the left and the swatch.
