I use Photoshop 6 and GIMP 2.2, and I thought "There has to be a way to do this in the GIMP...and there is.
1) Open the image in GIMP
2) Duplicate the origional layer (Layer > Duplicate Layer ... or right click layer in layers palatte > duplicate layer)
3) Desaturate the Copy (Layer > Colours > Desaturate)
4) Click the clone stamp and set it to "Image source" and "Registered"
5) Click on the background layer in the layers pallate (use the eye to hide the desaturated copy if you want) and alt+click on part of the image that you want to bring the colour back in.
6) Click on the desaturated copy layer in the layers pallate (click the eye to bring if back if you hid it before) and paint the area that you want the colour to come back in.
7) Sit back and Enjoy
Note: When doing this the locating that the clone stamp takes the clone from is exactally under your brush
