How to change the backround stripes from green to pink?

I know it is quite easy to do in Photoshop, but I forgot how to do this. I want to replace green backround in the top image to darker and lighter pink stripes to match the color of the website. Can you tell me how would you do that (step by step, if possible, to avoid confusion).

Thank you.

I've been going in the direction of:
1) Select color range (Pick green and just + the other shades of green to it)
2) Create Clipping mask from the Selection (I actually have all the green backround on white and nothing else on the screen, but I am kind of stuck at this point)
 
Easy.

Select the whole striped area (don't need to differentiate between stripes...)

Layer via cut

Duplicate it (Just in case...) Hide the previous layer.

Hue saturation, mess around with values.

Choose color using color picker. Open color dialogue box. Set hue of the hue/saturation as the H value of the box.

Mess around with lightness and saturation values.

Done.
 
It is not as easy as it seems (at least to me), since I am trying to get exact hex values that match the colors on the website (something like this: belerosemedia.com , darker and lighter colors on the sky are inverted too).

I was able to get this picture by extracting the sky with Color Range, and just painting the individual sections after selecting them with Polygonal Lasso Tool (so the lines remained straight etc). I WAS NOT able to preserve the stars though, and thats what I am still trying to figure out (I want what I now have on the website, but with stars).

Another method is Replace Color, but sections on the sky dont get inverted (like I need it to), and I am still setting the color values by hand, and not with a hex code that I got from the website (so it is 100% the same).

I know it is possible, and it's probably not hard either, but I still need to figure it out.

Thank you.
 
Your best bet then is to use the pen tool, and work manually, if you want to retain the stars.

Try what I said once, select the striped are with any tool, and use hue/saturation. Coloring over isn't very effective.
 
Were you able to change the color Jtt89? What did you end up doing, using the pen tool? Do you have a picture of it finished?
