If you're working with a gray scale item for recoloring, or a texture, sometimes you can't get the color right and it's because the gray item is too light or too dark. Try this trick to allow you to get the color you want.
Go to Image -> Adjustments -> Hue/Saturation. Try dragging the lightness triangle back and forth and see how it affects the over all color.

I'm making a few grayscale items for others to recolor, is their an optimum gray or grays that are easiest to recolor?
Thanks, great tip!
Thank you for that tip.
Marisa, why are designs meant for recoloring made in grey? I've been having a great time lately playing with Photoshop's Replace Color feature, but it gets all screwed up when I am trying to replace anything too neutral/grey/black/white. If I am trying to replace one color with another it works well. Is there some advantage to these items being grey that I am not taking advantage of when I try to recolor them?
I'm not really sure. This is the method I've always used for recoloring any image that isn't a solid color and has some gradient to it (like most scanned embellishments do). I'm certainly not aware of all the features in Photoshop though, so I could totally be missing something.
Lots of good information here. Thanks.
Thanks for another great tip.
