Selecting a given color and darkening it
So, here’s what I want to do. I have a complex scene, but I want to darken one portion of it. Selecting that portion with a mask won’t work because it’s just too complex. But if I could base my selection on the color of that portion of the video and then adjust just that selected color inside the mask/selected area, that would work, and would accomplish what I need to do.
I’ve hours looking at keying tutorials, but I don’t see how to use a color selection mask in this way. they’re all about green screening, which is not what I’m trying to do here.
Any help out there?
Thanks in advance.

Use the color mask tool. The little eyedropper right next to the shape mask tool. in the color panel of the inspector.
Click and drag the eyedropper on the color until the mask is approximately what you like, then feather. Then enter the color correction and darken to taste.

It would work just like you think it should. Activate the color mask tool. click and drag in the area you want to create the mask. Go to the color board and make adjustments. Those adjustments are defaulted to inside the mask.
You can further constrain the color mask by using it in conjunction with shape masks.
