Select_By_Color takes care of that but operates only in the RGB domain.
It might be a good idea to add an option that allows to apply the
threshold to the HSV colorspace. If someone wants to hack this simple
function, please port by_color_select to libgimpcolor and add generic 
color_distance functions to libgimpcolor.


Salut, Sven
