    Here's an example that's pretty close. Here's what I did:

    1.) Desaturated original layer (but kept a color version underneath).
    2.) Selected by color range. Applied a feather to the selection of 2px.
    3.) Copied and pasted this selection from the colored layer into a new layer.
    4.) Adjusted the hue, lightness and saturation.
    5.) Applied an unsharp mask to just the edges of my new layer to tidy up the blurry edges from the earlier feathering.

    I'm going to try out what MCP and bigtrick said to see if I can do any better.

    Thanks for the help everyone.
