Hue shift string of colors

Question

I have a number of hex colors (as part of a theme) in say a shade of green. I want to find equivalent colors in another shade say blue.

I would like to set a color and all the colors should automatically become equivalent to that shade.

UPDATE

I believe I have to convert the RGB to HSL and then shift it accordingly (between -180 to 180).

@diEcho I don't really have any code. Imagine you have a string of hex colors and want to find equivalent for another color. Similar to the colorize feature of Adobe Photoshop. — Alec Smart, Feb 22 '12 at 08:01
Okay, I've learnt a little more. I need to be able to modify the hue of all the colors. — Alec Smart, Feb 22 '12 at 08:03

You need to convert from RGB to HSV and for the resulting HSV values just alter the H (hue) value to change the base color.

Had to write a lot of JS to convert HEX to RGB to HSV and then modify the value of H and reverse the whole process. – Alec Smart Feb 22 '12 at 12:04
