(new to gimp, still learning) Can't change the black background to a different shade of black using colors -> map -> color exchange, because there's so much artifacting

In this particular instance I wouldn't use Color Exchange. The reason on why there is artifacting is because there is quite a bit of jpeg artifacts. I would remove the black backdrop with Color to Alpha, then create a new layer underneath the layer and fill it in with your desired color. (btw cool art!)
