Hi Jim,

Use Filters/Colors/Color To Alpha

Select the background color.  This will convert all the background to alpha,
and leave the dithered foreground.

Then use any of the color changing tools (see Colors/* and Filters/Colors/*) to
modify your value.

Finally, create a new layer behind the text with the background color.

Happy Gimping!
