Is there a method of which you can take a color image, comprising various colors, and transform it into a range of values of one specified color?

 

It would be similar to adding a fill color layer over a color image and lowering the opacity. However, all of the colors would have been neutralized to be values of the of the desired color, prior, not the original colors.

Or maybe, add a solid color fill layer, then set the blend mode to color.

There's a few ways to get there, but the easiest is to just use the Colorize option in a Hue/Saturation adjustment.
