Need some help with changing watercolor colors!

[April Noga]

I am working on making different colorways of a drawing that I would like to eventually turn into a repeating pattern (AKA- It's the same image but in different color combination)
My drawing is colored with watercolors, so in some areas the color is darker and in some areas lighter. I need to figure out how to change the color profile, So that if I have a purple color (which in some areas in darker/deeper tone and it fades out to a light purple) when I change it to another color it would keep the same darker-to-lighter gradation.

So it would be the same type of fading (darker to lighter) but just the different color.

Here is a little section of my drawing, as an example.
In some areas I have two different watercolor colors blending into one another (the purple and pink)
When I change the purple and pink colors to other colors, I still want them to have the same relationship to eachother--the same type of blending.


I think this has to do with hue/ saturation, but I'm not sure the specific steps to do it.


I've done lots of searching on the internet already (search function and youtube tutorials) but since this is a pretty specific question, I haven't been able to find an answer that has worked.
I appreciate you guys taking the time to help me out- Thank you!!!

Just add a Hue & Saturation Adjustment Layer set to colorize, and adjust the slider to suit.

Because her watercolor has a wide range of hues, I wouldn't want to use the "colorize" option. It forces the hue everywhere in the image to be identical and gives it a "squished" or flat appearance even though the saturation and luminosity is varying from point to point.

Instead, I would leave that option unchecked, then adjust the hue slider in the "master" screen to get the desired look(s). Here's an example where I incremented the master hue in roughly 15 degree increments all the way around the color wheel.

PS - Leave the animation up on your screen for a full cycle or two. It should become much smoother and faster after that.

Click New Adjustment Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette or Go up to Image > Adjustments > then select Hue/Saturation from the list.New dialog box will open move the slider to the color you want.
