colorize

Does someone know how to colorize a UIButton (iphone)? I have a greyscale image with alpha that I want to colorize to various different colors. Setting things like background color only shade the entire image without respecting the alpha.

Is there a straightforward way to do this, or will I need to subclass UIButton and overload the drawRect method perhaps? Thanks.
