Here is my first icon coloring tutorial:

Made with: PSP XI
Translatable? Yes

Going from this: to this:

1.    Duplicate your base three times, the first & second to screen at 100 & the 3rd  to screen at 50. (Depending on how light or dark your image is this step you can change the number of screen layers you add)
2.    Add a color balance layer (Layers>New Adjustment Layer>Color Balance) with the following settings: 
Midtones: 67, 58, 68
Shadows: -29, 24, 50
Highlights: 21, 11, -1
3.    Add a new raster layer(Layers>New Raster Layer) & fill it with this color: 110a64 (a shade of dark blue) & set it to exclusion at 100.
4.    Add another new raster layer & fill it with this color: f18bc0 (a shade of light pink) & set it to softlight at 47.
5.    Once that is done Merge all the layers (Layers>Merge>Merge all/flatten) & your done, unless you want to add text, etc.

When I was done I also added a texture to mine.
