converting color retaining antalias effect

I have a logo which has been created in Illustrator which open want to open
in photshop [I'm back on version 3 - long story].

When I open the file it wants to open up in greyscale [There is no color in
the image] and it is nicely anti aliased. Now I want to convert it to Blue
from grey, keeping the niced antialiased effect.

Looking for direction on how to proceed, OR my idea was to use a command
[if one exists] that says take pixels which are R-G-B-0-0-0 and make them
R-G-B-0-0-255. Take pixels which are R-G-B-5-5-5 and make them
R-G-B-51-51-255. Is this the way to go? Is it possible? Or what is your
suggestion.

It seems to me it would be a fairlly common process.

Cheers ... John
