Special thanks to Joshua (NI guy at NJ) who took the time to get these values and was willing to explain it to anyone who asked.

He also mentioned that toning down the brightness might help if your camera is angled high enough. This is because it will see the arena lighting and that will definitely change the way the camera see's the colors. NJ's field lighting was also adjusted to maintain the brightness all over the field to the best of their ability.
our camera only tracks pink, so hopefully we wont have any major problems
