That helps define the lines between the greys and white making it a little easier to paint. On the paint page I used these settings
FUZZ = 50000
METHOD = Floodfill
PAINT TYPE = Color
and for the paint color I used a combination of greens,yellows, and purple
You can change the fuzz number to a lower or higher number,5000 worked for me on most of the areas. Leave some white in the flowers or paint a few light colored area so that there`s some nice contrast.
This is the end results from painting
Now go back up to Effects and change the parameters to 25x25,highlight the gaussian blur button and click the Effects button.
The end results of that step is this
