There are always several ways to do any task in Photoshop. This easy method uses Hue and Saturation to change the colors of elements and match the color of elements to a paper or other layout element.
Open the element you wish to change the color of. I always find it easiest to have the element on the paper or layout I am using to assess the color choice. So I have dragged the ribbon onto my background paper.
Select the layer the ribbon is on.
Choose Image> Adjustments> Hue and Saturation
Manipulate the Hue Saturation and Lightness sliders to change the color
Click OK to apply the color change
To get a better color match, you can do the following:
Select the layer the ribbon is on
Use the color picker tool (double click the foreground color) 
Select a color with the eyedropper from any item in your layout. Here I’ve chosen light green
Choose Image> Adjustments> Hue and Saturation
Tick the Colorize box and the color of the element will change. 
You may still need to manipulate the options to get the color exactly as you desire. (In this case I increased just the saturation slightly) but the match is much better.
