HMG uses SetMenuItemBitmaps function to show images in menu items.
Official reference about this function is here:

The short answer, based on my own experience is that for Windows XP and earlier, 2 color bitmaps works well. For Vista, 16 color bitmaps can be used without problem.

Thanks for responding,
Apparently I managed to move around with the images now if you took the filter for the magenta background with transparency, but despite that, when viewed on the menu if the image is filtered and "transparent", but when navigate through the options is a variation of color. (annex picture for reference, I feel sorry for the image size, but I can see it well)
Why is this happening, also annexed the image files of evidence that I am using.
I appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Regards,
Javier
