What would be the best way to change the color of a texture? I made a tiling brick texture to match the tan color of Maria Laach Abbey but I want to use the same texture in a different color for the darker brick trims. Hue/Sat washes it out before I get it as dark as I want it and I can't seem to recover contrast w/o bringing back too much color.

Here's my photo ref:

I think Hue/Sat adjustment layer is best,, try using a curves or levels adjustment to play with the darkness.

You could desaturate it and overlay (or other blend mode) to a base color. Or you can overlay the base color to the desaturated texture.

You could use gradient maps, maybe pick 3 colors.

You could go into image>adjustments>variations (I personally dont like this).

You could also play with color balance.

Masking the adjustment layer is also a good idea, so your changes only affects the parts you want it to, such as the bricks and not the lines between them.

There's also PS's Match Colors tool.

Hue/Saturation and Color Balance should be more than enough.
Then when matching, change your RGB sliders to HSB and start by matching the Hue value - then move on to saturation and lightness.

If highlights and shadows also has to be matched or tweaked, use a Levels layer or a Selected Color -layer
