This is a section of a poster from the 1960s for the James Bond movie Dr No.
Just focusing on the colour only, and not quality of the black lines, it has rough and uneven quality. It's somewhat blotchy. In addition, there's a kind of of a canvas texture as well.
I have an image that has a layer of colours, with some broad shading. What I'm trying to do is push those colours and shades into the direction of something like what's in this poster.
I've experimented with the default Photoshop plugins available in the CS2 version, which is what I'm working with. The rough pastels texture seemed to come closest, but it has a heavy horizontal direction to it. The poster I'm referencing doesn't go in any particular direction. And I can't figure out how to get the "blotchiness" of the colour at all.
What filter, or combinations of filters, or techniques might I use to try and modify my existing colours to have the same look as the colours in the example Dr No poster?
Just to be clear: I am not expecting one big magic button filter. That would be nice, but I would expect it would be more of a process, a set of steps, or a series of techniques. Whatever it takes, I am looking for a specific result. I'm not biased about the method.

Okay.. here's a basic stab at it.....
Forgive the moronic 10 second image... it's the color I was focused on.
The black keyline
Hue/Saturation adjustment (tweaked to bring up greens and saturation
a bit). Filter > Render > Clouds and Filter > Noise > Add Noise run
on mask.
Duplicate of "Base", fill set to 0%. Pattern overlay set to color
dodge and a different subtle light distressed pattern
used.
Duplicate of "Base", fill set to 0%. Pattern overlay set to multiply
and a subtle dark distressed pattern used.
Duplicate of "Base", levels adjustment to lighted slightly. Add mask.
Run Filter > Render > Clouds on Mask, then run Filter > Noise > Add
Noise on mask.
Duplicate of "Base", levels adjustment to darken slightly. Add mask.
Run Filter > Render > Clouds on Mask, then run Filter > Noise > Add
Noise on mask.
The base color. Simple flat color layer. Nothing special about the layer at all.
*opacity on all layers is 100%.
This is a preliminary exploration. My colors are quickly chosen and not the best. However, I'm certain this method could be refined a great deal and yield great results.
The important aspect is there's absolutely no painting or handwork needed if that's the goal. However, if you wish to refine, you can always grab a brush and paint the various layer masks to enhance or subdue an area specifically.
In addition, there are other filters besides the clouds and noise filters I'd try. Fibers and Texturizer may yield good results.
I recorded this into an action so it can be applied to any layer to generate the variations with a simple tap on an F key.
And after manually painting some tonal variations on teh base layer, then running the action....
