With Select by Color (Shift+o) you select the line that outlines the colors.
With the selection active you can paint this selection with the color of your choice. (here I used black color).
This way you have obtained the desired area.

If you want, just select each transparent area and add colors individually to each one.

Thank (Maybe I should have just slept on it. The solution seems so straightforward (once you know it) Wink )
