The sampled colour from the flag also incorporates some additional hues in the car body.
In my example image, this particular hue also brings in elements from the background, so careful tuning of the Fuzziness and Range sliders is necessary to adjust the result. This time sample a red hue from the flag stripes. Select the Background layer again and turn off the visibility of the adjustment layer, then go to Select > Color Range again. The stripes on the American flag are also quite pale, because these reds are a slightly different hue to the sampled colour from the main car body. The effect works in principle, but if you look closely, you’ll see there are some darker red tones that are being hidden in grey by the black and white adjustment layer. The selection will be automatically used within the layer mask, which prevents the black and white effect being applied to the red portion determined by the Color Range tool.

The Color Range tool has a series of preset selections, such as Reds, Yellows, Greens and Cyans, but these options are often too broad and capture unwanted areas of the image. The main Photoshop tool that is used to achieve the color splash effect is the Select > Color Range selection method. All the other hues and tones are subdued, which enhances the reds even further. The bright Race Red colour really stands out against the derelict backdrop, making it an ideal candidate for the colour splash effect. I recently did a great photoshoot with my friend at S.W Photography in an old aircraft hangar. In my personal life I enjoy driving, tinkering and showing off my Ford Mustang.
