If you have photoshop use the brush tool and set the mode (see the bar at the top) to color. Select your colour and just paint over your subject. Works great for B&W images too.

The luma value of the original is too dark for it to work. Duplicate the layer, make a selection of the building and then convert it to greyscale. Now adjust the brightness/contrast/etc until it looks about the right levels. Finally paint over with the brush in colour mode.

Here's how in PS.
1. Create a duplicate layer of the background image
2. Since this is a nice manmade shape - straight edges - it is doddle to use the pen tool and create a vector mask of the outline.
3. Layer->mask->rasterize to convert the vector mask to a normal mask
4. Invert the mask so that (select, mask Ctrl-i) the outside is masked not the shed.
5. Fiddle to your hearts content with the hue,sat (Ctrl-u) and or Curves (Ctrl-m)
