Gimp Selection Help?

[Blockoman]

I'm trying to make an object with a single-color background transparent. Sounds easy, right?
Well, part of the object has a shade that is similar to the region behind it, and Gimp can't tell the difference. How can I get Gimp to delete the color around that area, without deleting that section?

Similar colour or exact same colour?
If it's just similar then you can probably adjust the threshold of the magic wand until it just selects what you want.

Yeah, Lower you threshold until it doesn't select that area. This can be tricky with very similar colors.
