I have to ask, you say you reduced the yellow to increase the green in the grass?

I see what you are saying now. The brackets are stuck on with tape. I assumed it would be a bit tougher than that.
The ones in the shop I saw looked like they were held on with screws as they had caps (like number plate screw caps.)
It is difficult to explain when you (ie me) dont understand the physics of it fully. I learned from experience and experimentation. Colours are 'mixed' to make other colours or tones of those colours. If you reduce the yellow, it gives a deeper green, add yellow lightens greens. The best way to do it, is to experiment using the saturation settings, and play with the colour options in the drop down box (of the saturation dialogue). This is a coarse method of doing it, as you are reducing the colour information. You can do a similar effect using levels or curves in their colour channels, which is a little more subtle but time consuming (and probably a more effort than is really needed).
