At similarity 1.0 the script failed to find any of the images as opposed
to the correct coloured one. I had to retake all the screenshots to make
it work.

Similarity 1.0 seems to be very unforgiving. Most of our tests are currently designed to test our debugger that uses colour changes to indicate activity. 
Thread stops, register changes, BP hits, etc... all change the colour of some text. The version 0.10.2 Sikuli engine was able to detect the colour change at a much lower similarity. This was useful because most devs could just copy the images and the tests, across to their PC's and the test would work. 

With Sikuli X each machine that wanted to run the tests would need to
take a new set of screen shots.

Will there be any mechanism to detect colour changes more easily?

Lots of software's and web pages use colour changing text to indicate
activity. The ability to detect colour change would be a very useful
feature for a GUI test automater.

Forgot to mention we are using Windows 7x64 as an OS

Title:
  Sikuli X-RC2 cannot identify colours correctly

Status in Sikuli:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,
  We upgraded from version 0.10.2 to X and our automated test that detect for colour changes have stopped working.

  The GUI application we are testing has some indicators that change colour to warn the user of potential problems. We have some Sikuli tests that test this feature, and since the upgrade the tests are no longer able to detect the colour change.
  These tests worked very well in version 0.10.2.

  Even after knocking the Similarity up to 1.0 it cannot distinguish
  between Yellow and Red.
