Need basic DRAW help for forums... Pretty Please.

Hi all,

Hi am super new to Corel DRAW X4... with little to no graphics training. I feel I am trying to do something so simple but I never seem to be able to get it to work. So now I am BEGGING for help.

Here is what i am doing: modifying the color of website graphics.

Please see the image below from my website. It is a border image from my FORUMS. If you zoom in (a lot) you will notice that near the right and left sides there is a slight color variation that, when tiled/repeated vertically creates a background and border on the right and left sides of the page.

The Change: Currently, the image (that grey line below) is a shade of GREY. But I would like to make it a shade of brown/tan (using HEX #726F4D, RGB 114,111,77) and still maintain that slight shade variation on the ends.

I really have no idea how to do this or even where to start.

Another example, all I want to do is convert the blue color to a shade of brown.
