Re: how well do the sensors pick up color?

What I'm wondering about the cameras is how big of a deal would ambient light have on what it picks up as a set color? Say at home in what ever setting you are working in, say the correct green is defined at 3.5<x<3.7, or around that range, but in a match for what ever reason due to lighting used there the threshold gets knocked up to say 3.9<x<4.2? it will become hit or miss at times.

I know its kinda specific the ranges, but chances are if not the robot may track anything that could be considered at all greenish in its visual range
