    Well, I recommend you use Paint.NET to make it easier; it has a much more user-friendly interface compared to say GIMP. Inside Paint.NET, all you have to do is paste the image, then go to the adjustments menu and play around with the 'Hue/Saturation' option.

    In Gimp, you would mess with color menu(its between the layer and tools menu). In that menu, I suggest playing with colorize, color-balance, levels Brightness-Contrast, or Hue-Saturation.

    Best thing is to use layers so that you can experiment better( Gimp Beginner Guide ).

    With colorize alone:

    With colorize and Hue-Saturation, you can do something like this:
    [​IMG]

    With colorize and levels:

    And lastly colorize and Color Balance:

    Just play around and see what happens :)
