To “salvage” means to find or rescue something, especially something that was lost at sea. It is not limited just to that specific situation, though: you can salvage a piece of metal from a shipwreck, but you can also salvage a situation.

If you confused "hew" with "hue" its homonym that means color or shade of color, you may have chosen "paint" or "dye." However, "hew" and "hue" have distinct meanings, so neither "paint" nor "dye" is correct.
