Using the Colour Replacement Brush Tool

The Colour Replacement Brush Tool takes a sample of the colour under the cursor when you begin to paint, and will replace all closely matching colours along the stroke with the current Foreground colour. The targeted colour's hue will be replaced with the current Foreground colour's hue, while retaining lightness values of the original pixels.
