Depending on how exactly you want to edit:
If you want to change all line having "Chocolate:5:5" to "Chocolate:5:10"
Code:
sed 's/Chocolate:5:5/Chocolate:5:10/'

OR change all lines "Banana:33:3" to "Banana:33:5"
Code:
sed 's/Banana:33:3/Banana:33:5/'

OR change line Banna pricers to 5 (whatever be the current price)
Code:
sed 's/Banana:\(.*\):\(.*\)/Banana:\1:5/'

NAME

       Color::Library::Dictionary::Tango - (Tango) The Tango color palette

DESCRIPTION

       The Tango icon theme's goal is to make applications not seem alien on any desktop. A user running a multiplatform application should not
       have the impression that the look is unpolished and inconsistent with what he or she is used to. While this isn't about merging styles of
       all desktop systems, we do aim to not be drastically different on each platform.

       The Tango color palette consists of 27 RGB colors.
