recolour
Change the hue
To recolour is to change the colour of something, giving it a new or different hue: She recoloured her hair from blonde to auburn.
The term applies to physical objects like fabrics and photographs, and to digital images where colours can be adjusted with software: I recoloured the logo to match the new branding.
Also spelled recolor.
