Replacing color with specific color code

[burakace]

I am trying to replace the background color of the image below. I am using the replace color tool. I use the first eyedropper tool to select the color. Then the second eyedropper+ tool to select the shaded area. I use a fuzziness of 50-70. I enter the replacement color using a color code. The color is replaced, however the final result is a slight different color than the color code I enter. When I check the end result using the eyedropper tool, I can see a different color code. Why does this happen? What other method can I use to replace the color with a specific color? Thanks

Try removing the background by using the Magic Eraser Tool with it's tolerance set to 32.



On a new layer, add back the circle in any color you desire.



On yet another new layer, add back the shading/shadow in whatever color you desire.

I just used the hue and saturation sliders to get the colour i needed.

IamSam thank you for the advice, how did you add the shadow?

The color replacement tool is not the greatest tool in the bag. Try this.
Magic Wand set to 10 tolerance, set foreground color to desired color, select with wand, Alt/Option + backspace. Fills selection with foreground color. Repeat for second desired color.
