I mentioned this in my post above:

"The marching ants you see are just a close approximation to what you are selecting. If the colors are close enough, it might select some of that color too, but not enough to make the marching ants go around that part."


Also as Rich mentioned:
"Not called fuzzy for nothing "

There are ways to wrangle these selection tools to bend them to your will, but they are not exact which is why you have controls for threshold, feathering, anti-aliasing, etc.. The best way to see what you are actually selecting is to tick the option 'Draw Mask' as Rich suggested. Then you can drag your mouse to adjust your threshold and see how it is affecting the surrounding areas.

Keep at it and you'll get there.
