Marks reference is a little more complicated than I think it needs to be, here's another:

There is a transparency map in the Transparency channel. In the color channel, that same map with the Invert Color option checked is used to multiply the existing color. This will zero the color in the transparent areas and make sure that color + transparency is not greater than 100%.

Good luck,
