Apparently it's Tutorial-time :p

Please keep in mind that most of my coloring is the result of messing around with pretty extreme layers. I've tried to tone it down a bit for this tutorial, but most of the time I don't really know what I'm doing. So, if something isn't working out for you, please try another cap, play around with autocolor, levels, etc etc.....or ask someone on i_t, because I really don't think I could be of much help, sorry
Duplicate the base, set to screen and keep repeating
this step until you get something pretty bright and light
-->
New layer and fill it with #CCCCCC (a light grey).
Set it to soft light --> 62%
-->
Make another layer, fill it with #000235 (a dark blue),
set it to exclusion --> 80%
-->
Another layer, fill it with #A9ECFF (kind of a bright blue).
Set to color burn --> 75%.
If your result isn't red enough for
you this blue layer is the one you want to change,
just lower the opacity to your liking.
-->
Layer > new adjustment layer > curves --> 35%.
Use these settings (I'm pretty sure I've snagged
these from someone, sorry about that):
RBG: 2 dots
input 27, output 12
input 121, output 143
Red: 3 dots
input 23, output 8
input 68, output 87
input 170, output 226
Green: 2 dots
input 21, output 38
input 96, output 109
Blue: 1 dot
input 97, output 115
-->
Layer > new adjustment layer > selective color --> 100%
I use this one on most of my yellow/greenish icons,
it's a bit of a weird layer so don't forget to play around with the opacity!

Duplicate the selective color layer --> 38%

Layer > new adjustment layer > selective color --> 100%
Reds

New layer, fill it with #CCFF66 Set to
color burn --> 30%
-->
Layer > new adjustment layer > gradient map.
Choose the B&W gradient, set to soft light --> 30%

Let me know if I've messed up :)
