I mean a temporary change without the need to move over to Photoshop?

I would like to change the color of the light gray paper texture with the eyedropper tool, I mean to pick a color with the eye dropper tool, from the image.

For greyscale images it should work to just pick a color from somewhere. But the effect still might not look like what you imagine. This JPEG is already applied as a pattern? Then it will not work. The color has to be applied first.

The light grey paper texture is a JPG swatch, and it's already applied.
I don't know the theory how you get the best color reproduction.

I could use transparency blend modes for example difference and exclusion, anything else I thinks needs to be done in Photoshop.

What is the best way to totally recolor a paper texture?

Not just tint, but totally recolor, change the color?

But to not loose the texture, it must be a tint, I think.
