Open Hue / Saturation

With your mockup open in Static, click Hue / Saturation in the right panel. It has three sliders, Hue, Saturation and Lightness, and a Colorize switch. All start at 0.

The Hue / Saturation section with Hue, Saturation and Lightness at 0 and Colorize off — Three sliders and a Colorize switch.

Shift the hue

Click the number next to Hue, type 60 and press Enter. Every color moves around the color wheel: the purple background turns brownish red and the green rings turn purple and aqua.

Hue at 60 with the background turned brownish red and the rings turned purple and aqua — Hue moves all colors together.

Raise the saturation

Set Saturation to 40. The colors get stronger: the background becomes a vivid red-orange. Negative values mute them instead.

Saturation at 40 with the background a vivid red-orange — Saturation makes the colors more vivid.

Try Colorize

Turn on Colorize. The whole picture is painted in the single hue you set, with the light and dark areas kept. Turn it off again to go back to the full colors.

Colorize on with the whole picture in shades of green — Colorize paints everything in one hue.
