I'm having difficulty replacing the colors in an existing image with colors from a new swatch of colors. I've tried the following :
Magic wand and fill
Color replacement tool
Image -> Adjustments -> Replace color
The latter just wouldn't let me select the color I wanted to replace with I had to fiddle with hue/saturation/lightness. I have about 100 of these images to change to using a different swatch so I need a quick method.
Here's an example image I need to change the colors for:
Here's the new swatch showing which colors should go where:
This is the best result I can get:
Awful. If anybody can forgive my poor Photoshop skills and show me a good way to do this I'd be very grateful thanks.
How can I replace multiple colours in an image with a new swatch of colours, in a systematic way that I can repeat for a batch of ~100 more images?
UPDATE: Here's my compromise using simple hue/saturation adjustments

This doesn't really answer your question, it's just a work-around since your image has most of the same colors.
made a new layer above the original,
Filled it with your third swatch color,
set the new layer to Multiply,
Looks decent, except for the highlight color — so I used Select Color Range to grab the highlight color as a selection, made an Adjustment Layer to lighten just that area a little.
Here it is:
Here's the Layers:
I would use a Gradient Map as an adjustment layer. You can easily create your gradient by sampling your color key in another open window:
It also helps to paint samples of your new tones on a new layer above your adjustment map.
In this case, that should be all you need. If you have an image where a color transition would contain inappropriate tones after being remapped, you may need to mask an remap those areas separately.
