Rules state:

"saturate, desaturate or change the colors of your entry, but no selections are allowed."

Does that mean I can take all the red out, or that I have to take all the color out?

I'm just curious about the selectivity meaning.

I realize that I cannot take everything out except a central subject, but what if I took an entire color out globally, but just the one color?

I think if you desaturate an entire color through the hue/saturation adjustment, then i think it's allowed.

hue/saturation is the correct adjustment for basic.

You are also allowed to use the (very) deceptively named "Selective Color" adjustment/adjustment layer, as long as you don't make selections. It's VERY Handy...
