Selective Color

The Selective Color adjustment allows you to change the selected color in an image without affecting other colors.

Select Image -> Adjustment -> Selective Color... to display the adjustment parameters in the Settings Panel.

You can also use the Selective Color adjustment layer (Layers -> New -> Adjustment Layer -> Selective Color...) that will affect all the underlying layers without changing their content.
