#how do i use image mode -> index color while keeping a transparent background?

i want to take e.g. this image and apply a custom color palette, but when i use image mode -> index color, it first flattens it and applies a white background.

the issue is that both the lighter tones in the sprite and the new white background get translated to the same color in the image that is output.

some of these images have these lighter tones on the outer edges, which leaves me no way to easily delete the background afterwards.

any ideas on how to get around this?
