I’m pretty sure this is a newbie question: I have a greyscale image that I want to make color. What I want is to make all the black/grey elements into the single color (instead of a greyscale based on black and densities thereof, a colorscale based on a single hue and its densities). Not even sure if this question is clear, sorry.

May not be what you are after,but maybe hue/sat and check the colorize box,and then play with the hue slider to get your color.

You might want to make a new RGB or CMYK document exactly the pixel dimension of your current grayscale document. Then select all and copy the grayscale image. Move over to your newly created blank document and then paste the copied grayscale INTO the appropriate channel of the new image.

Another suggestion, convert said greyscale image to RGB or CMYK, and create a Gradient Map Adjustment layer, and select what colors you want. Basically remaps your black to (X) color, and white to (Y) color.
