Change background color

[maicart]

Hello,

In relation to the attached image, I would like to make the background color more gray, like the one you see attached.

How can I do it with Gimp?

Thanks.

That would have been a vector image originally. If you can find that as an svg you will get the best results, however

The usual way is by color selection, often with growing the selection by a pixel or 2 to eliminate the occasional anti-aliased pixels.

For that particular image with those drop shadows not a wonderful result, so this method works, erasing the light grey with the paint tool in color erase mode.

A few steps involved, so this demo video: https://youtu.be/Cwxd0Hayq68 one and a half minutes so do not blink.

While replacing a background is very common, and there are any number of ways to achieve that using Gimp.

Simple logos are easily recreated as vectors using Inkscape, even with Gimp all you need is a single arrow as a path, the other parts are duplicates moved or rotated. Then for each path it is Path to Selection -> fill the selection.

As an example using Gimp check the attached,
