You do use Photoshop, do you?

There's 2 ways to change color,,,,

Apply a HUE AND SATURATION adjustment layer on the image...



Doing that will certainly change the colors of everything. So .....

Make a layer duplicate of the image.

Use the magic wand tool to select the colored casing.

Apply a pixel mask to the layer




Apply the Hue and Saturation adjustment layer. Make sure to select the grouping icon so that the adjustment affects only the layer directly below it and not the first layer.


Hope this helps.

Hue/sat adjustment layer, select green from the dropdown box. Mask areas you don't want to affect.
