Another possibility: you have the wrong layer selected; a text layer. That gives me the exact same screenshot as you get.

Looks like this is a 32 bits/color HDR image. Most adjustment tools don't work with that (also depending on your version of Photoshop).

Check under the 'Image - Mode' that you're working in either 16 or 8 bit. If you go higher you will see the replace color is greyed out.

It can be that you try apply replace sky to smart object. Just look at layers panel and if you have small icon on layer image thats mean that it an a smart object. Just right click and choose convert to layers. Worked for my case.
