Apply a Layer Style:


Double-click directly on the layer in the Layers Panel
Choose 'Color Overlay', click on the color-picker box and (wait for it) pick your new color:

If you Ctrl+click (Command+click on Mac) on the layer thumbnail, it will create a selection around the shape.

Then simply choose another foreground colour, and click Edit > Fill - select the Foreground colour option.

Just a note for future reference: to change the colour of just one thing in Photoshop you nearly always need to make a selection first. There are many ways to make selections in Photoshop, some of the other answers here give alternatives.

The red rectangle is in own layer. Select that layer in the Layers panel. Goto Image > Adjustments > Hue & Saturation and change the red color to what you want.

Another option: select the emptiness around the rectangle by the Magic Wand tool with low tolerance. Then goto Select > Invert to get the rectangle selected. Finally with the Paint Bucket or a brush repaint the area.

You can use the Magic Wand to select only the rectangle and fill up your colour desired with Paint Bucket Tool.

Or use Ctrl+Click (Window)/ Command+click (Mac) on the layer to select the image.
