Replace object colors in 3 simple ways

Select your preferred object. Use the Quick Selection tool () to get good results. To learn more about additional techniques, see Select a color range and Select and Mask.

Navigate to Image > Adjustments > Replace Color.

In the Replace Color dialog that opens, select a preview option — 

• Selection: This option displays the mask in the preview box. Areas marked as black are masked, and areas marked as white are unmasked. Partially masked areas (areas covered with a semitransparent mask) appear as varying levels of gray according to their opacity.
• Image: This option displays the image in the preview box. This option is recommended when working with a magnified image or limited screen space.

To select the colors that you want to replace, use the Eyedropper tool () to select an area in the image or in the preview box to select the areas exposed by the mask.

If you're selecting similar, contiguous colors in the image, check the Localized Color Clusters box to build a more accurate mask.

To further refine the selection, do any of the following:

• Shift-click or use the Add To Sample Eyedropper tool () to add areas.

• Alt-click (Windows), Option-click (macOS), or use the Subtract From Sample Eyedropper tool () to remove areas.

• Select the Selection Color swatch to open the Color Picker. Use the Color Picker to target the color you want replaced. As you select a color in the Color Picker, the mask in the preview box is updated.

Drag the Fuzziness slider or enter a Fuzziness value to control the degree to which related colors are included in the selection.

Specify a replacement color by doing either of the following:

• Drag the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness sliders (or enter values in the text boxes).
• Double-click the Result swatch and use the Color Picker to select the replacement color.

Select the Color Replacement tool (). (If the tool isn’t visible, access it by holding down the Brush tool.)

In the options bar in the workspace, choose a brush tip and set the other options. Generally, you should keep the blending mode set to Color.

For the Sampling option, choose one of the following:

• Continuous: Samples colors continuously as you drag.
• Once: Replaces the targeted color only in areas containing the color that you first select.
• Background Swatch: Replaces only areas containing the current background color.

From the Limits menu, select one of the following:

• Discontiguous: Replaces the sampled color wherever it occurs under the pointer.
• Contiguous: Replaces colors that are contiguous with the color immediately under the pointer.
• Find Edges: Replaces connected areas containing the sampled color while better preserving the sharpness of shape edges.

For Tolerance, choose a low percentage to replace colors very similar to the pixel you select, or raise the percentage to replace a broader range of colors. If the range of replaced colors is too small, increase the Tolerance setting in the options bar.

To produce a smooth edge in the corrected areas, select Anti-alias.

Select the color you want to replace in the image.
