I really like the "Replace Color" function in Photoshop, but the one thing that I can't figure out is how I can use it to take a white area and replace with another color. When I move the hue, etc, all it does is show different shades of white.
How can I use Photoshop's color replace tool to replace white with any other darker color (like red or blue)?

I don't believe the Color Replacement Tools is suited to this.
I suggest you try this: use the Eliminate White filter to make white areas transparent, on a copy of the layer (Ctrl+J). (You may find that applying Layer > Matting > Remove White Matte after this is beneficial). Then, you can paint or fill in what you want on a new layer behind this one. If you used
Remove White Mattea solid white fill on the back layer should give you the original layer appearance.
