Grunge texture is just a term used when referring to adding wear and dirt to the surface for the purpose of creating a more believable texture. The reasoning is, that things in the real world are rarely new and pristine. So adding marks, dents, scratches, and dirt make it look more real.

If you're looking to get the details of a texture, but override its color, you'll want to use hue and saturation tools. Overlay and Multiply will both react with your base color, resulting in something wholly unintended.
