If your camera is working properly, switching to YCrCb will result in a nearly uniform purple picture, with subtly darker bluish patches for light sources and bright reflections. The green target light might not look any different in the picture, but its values are definitely distinguishable from the other lights. You can turn on highlighting and/or use the "color tracking" window to prove it.

I did switch to YCbCr successfully. I meant, that even afterwards, the green light and the glare off the backgrounds were still exactly the same as each other.
