If you still have those with the pink and green (not sure how they will look, it depends) but try this:

Greyscale the image.
Increase to all colors (Ctrl+shift+0)
Then go to the colors menu and mess around with the gamma/saturation/brightness (think thats what the menu is.. Haven't used in a while) Find a shade of brown and hopefully the green and pink weren't too bright to the point that they don't look good as brown.
