Double click your foreground color and this will open the "Color Picker"
Select the color of the sample.
Now open a new Solid Color Fill adjustment layer and fill with foreground color.
Clip the Solid Color Fill adjustment layer to the copied original layer above the Black & White adjustment layer.
Set blending option to Darken.
