Selective Colouring

I've been experimenting with fill layers in PSPxi to acheive something similar to selective colouring. I've gotten close, but I have a question beneath the cut.


Here are the icons I've made trying to achieve that kind of colouring. I'm mainly using colour layers, and colour balance, because I've been trying to keep it really simple.

But the colours are a bit too vibrant. And exclusion layers don't seem to work very well. D: Does anyone know anyway to soften the colours, and degrade the images a bit. Any other advice on selective colouring for psp is super appreciated! ... Maybe these don't look that much like selective colouring after all. DDD:
