There are lots of ways. The easiest first step is to use the Hue-Saturation dialog (or Hue-Chroma, if you prefer) and drag the sliders around, especially the Hue slider.
If that doesn't do what you want, another way is:
- make a new layer on top of your image
- fill that layer with a solid color (now you'll only see the color, but your pattern is still there underneath)
- In the Mode menu in the Layers dialog, go through the whole list one by one, setting the mode on the solid-color layer and seeing the effect on the image. (Hint: once you've clicked on the Mode menu once, it has focus and you can cycle rapidly through the modes by pressing the down- arrow key).
Of course, the top layer doesn't have to be a solid color. You can paint different colors on it corresponding to different parts of your base image, so the same layer mode will turn different parts of the image different colors. You can get all kinds of surprising and interesting effects depending on how the top color combines with the bottom color in different layer modes.
