Shucks... I forgot to mention to set the panelling layer mode to lighten.... that's layer 2 in my image.

Hope it works. Or maybe iDad's suggestion.

Pretty easy if you want to change with Hue/Saturation!

To change black to "normal" colors (Like to change black to red, green etc) -> Change lightness value to 50, continue with editing Hue and Saturation sliders.
To turn black to white -> turn lightness value to 100.
To turn white to black (lol this sounds wrong ) -> Turn lightness to -100
To turn white to color -> Change lightness to -50

Hope it helped
(PS. I figured this out myself )

Well, the combination of everyones advice seems to have got me the result I wanted! I used the colorise option within the Hue and Saturation sliders, and that seemed to get me the effect I wanted. Its not quite perfect yet, but a bit of extra fiddling will sort it out now. I've attached for reference. I very much appreciate everyones help. Mission accomplished for now.Thank you all.

Well, it's there in Photoshop CS5, and is in the Hue/Saturation adjustment box...

Read this, the first line says that it adjusts hue, saturation, and lightning.
