I went to Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast > Levels
Keep the channel to RGB
Input settings: 0, 1.44, 255

Go to Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation
Upper the saturation with +68

Go to Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Colour Balance
Go to Midtones and set to -100, 53, 100
Keep preserved luminance checked
