I don't understand this.  If I do that, the black C and especially the
highlights in the C are getting whiter and chunky, while the green frame
gets chunky but stays green.  So I'm puzzled.  If I do that and then
desaturize, what have I won, except that the highlights in the C are
chunkier?  Where's the trick?
