Camera - how to get out of B&W?

The camera works great - we can see it fine on the dashboard. (That dashboard is nice!)

I set up the green light thing from the contest two years ago about 10 feet in front of the camera. (I'm guessing there is a camera needed this year, duh...) It showed up as white. In fact, the entire image was B&W. If I point the camera straight up at the ceiling lights a few colors start to emerge.

I played with a few settings via Labview but I couldn't change anything.

Any thoughts? i.e., how do I configure the camera to see in color?
