The Replace Color tool lets you select a color and paint over that color with a different color.

Fireworks provides two different ways to replace one color with another. You can replace a color that you’ve specified in the color swatch, or you can replace a color by using the Replace Color tool directly on the image.

To replace one color with another using the color swatch:

Select the Replace Color tool from its pop-up menu.
In the From box in the Property inspector, click Swatch.
Click the From color well to select the color probe, and select a color from the pop-up menu to specify the color you want to replace.
Click the To color well in the Property inspector and select a color from the pop-up menu.
Set the other stroke attributes in the Property inspector:
Size sets the size of the brush tip.
Shape sets a round or square brush tip shape.
Tolerance determines the range of colors to replace (0 replaces only the To color; 255 replaces all colors similar to the To color).
Strength determines how much of the Change color is replaced.
Colorize replaces the Change color with the To color. Deselect Colorize to tint the Change color with the To color, leaving some of the Change color intact.
Drag the tool over the color you want to replace.

To replace one color with another by selecting a color on the image:

Select the Replace Color tool from its pop-up menu.
In the From box in the Property inspector, click Image.
Click the To color well in the Property inspector to select the color probe, then select a color from the pop-up menu.
Set the other stroke attributes in the Property inspector:
Size sets the size of the brush tip.
Shape sets a round or square brush tip shape.
Tolerance determines the range of colors to replace (0 replaces only the To color; 255 replaces all colors similar to the To color).

Strength determines how much of the Change color is replaced.
Colorize replaces the From color with the To color. Deselect Colorize to tint the From color with the To color, leaving some of the From color intact.
Using the tool, click down on a section of the bitmap image that contains the color you want to replace. Without lifting the tool, continue to brush across the image with it. The color that you clicked down on when you initiated the brushing action will be replaced by the color you’ve specified in the To color well.
