Adjusting a color without a selection nor mask?

[Pooch88]

Is Photoshop mask/selection dependent in this situation? I'm curious if i can affect a very specific color throughout an image (with some fuzziness adjustment of course) WITHOUT first "selecting" it and without creating a mask? I'm imaging something like Color Range but skipping the 'select' part and where you can either enter a hex # or select a specific swatch and all adjustments are based around that... but no mask. or is this simply not how PS approaches things?

In the Layers panel, look at Advanced Blending.

A Hue/Sat adjustment layer will do this. 

Select the little hand icon and click on the colour range you wish to affect.

You will see this reflected in the colour bars at the bottom of the Properties panel with the Hue/Sat layer selected.

Drag the Hue slider to change the colour.

Adjust the colour bar sliders to fine tune the range,

This used to be the goto way to fix chromatic aberations because it was so good at homing in on specific colour ranges.
