Did you try assigning a transmit or filter value in the image map declaration?

The basic syntax for filtering a specific color index is -

image_map { gif "Fish.gif" filter   87,1 }
image_map { gif "Fish.gif" transmit 87,1 }

See the POV-Ray docs - section 6.7.1.5.2  The Filter and Transmit Bitmap Modifiers

I am not sure what you are trying to do here but without a short example of
your code it would be hard to guess what you are seeing.
