Now when you add the texture using the tutorial above with a scrolltext actor it will be colored.

Thats good, Im already thinking about this
Is that work if I just export the texture and re-color the textures, or I need PS and use this "Color Table"?

You could use anything that allows you to edit pcx files and access the color table. I believe GIMP is similar to photoshop and might work with this.
