Perhaps not the best way:

Make greyscale your image and now turn to rgb space again. Create a layer that you fill
with a version very dark of the color you want and make this layer mode to "color" and above
the first one.

There are a number of ways to do this. One very easy one would be to have this image and the one you want to change open in Photoshop. In the one you want to change, choose Image>Adjustments>Match Color. In the bottom of the match color dialogue box, in the section labeled "Image Statistics", change the "Source" to the name of this image. It will apply the color scheme of this image to the one you want to match to it.

Though it might be a good idea to paint out the reddish text with white first.
