Do you know how to 'unsharpen' this color?

You should be making any and all changes on a new layer.
You should also be using the Pen Tool to make the selection. It's difficult to be accurate with the Brush Tool.
Here I used the Pen Tool in Shape mode. I do this because the path and color are easily adjusted.
Then try adjusting the layers blending mode to blend (not unsharpen) the color.
Here, "Darken" seemed to work best.
You can then clean up the bleed by inverting the selection (shift + Cmd/Cntrl + I) and then use the Brush Tool, a soft brush, set to white to clean up.
(NOTE: With the Pen Tool selected, the path can be converted to a selection by right clicking and choosing "make selection".
You can then adjust the feather of the selection.)
