I'll try to describe my workflow. When I'm retouching (humans skin)
there are two types of defects from color point of view: 1. the ones
which have rather large smooth area and which color differs from skin
color and 2. small ones with the texture other than nearby skin and
possibly but not necessary different color. The difference is rather
narrow and is based on defect size compared to nearby face features:
foldings, lips...
I use scalable round brush mostly with 50% opacity which fades to edges.
Also 2 modifiers are used: [] for quick and <> for exact brush resizing.
So if a defect has different (reddish) color, it can even have the same
texture as the nearby skin. The healing brush doesn't change the color,
but it is required here! The clone tool is just in place for this
action. So I switch to it with C, select the source again and apply it.
Making a conclusion, sometimes it is required to replace the destination
color with the source one, not only to flatten or copy the texture of
the source. That's why I use the clone tool consequently with the
healing brush.

That said, let's get back to your suggestion. It would help if, instead
of proposing a solution, you could outline what exactly you cannot
achieve using the Heal tool. There are most probably better ways to
solve the problem.
