I have this image
And I need to change it to the color #D21108 (type of RED). Of course, I do not want to paint it to this color, but to change the color to #D21108 and its shades (like I do in Photoshop via Brush > Colour Replacement). I have all info about this color, values of RGB, CMYK, Lab and HSV if you need them.
Now, I guess I can easily change it via GIMP's menu "Colors". I tried options Color Balance, Hue-Saturation, Colorize, but I did not find a way to enter the starting color I need. I was closest to my aim via Hue-Saturation, but I could not get this red value, no matter what I tried.
As I am not a graphics expert, please tell me how to accomplish this task.
PS. What's the meaning of Lab and HSV in the color scheme? I know the meaning of RGB and CMYK.
