i don't know your patch.

but of course you cannot clamp the G&B channels to zero and expect that
you will then see only the red color: instead remember that in RGB
space, a bright red, a bright yellow and a bright magenta (and a bright
white) will all have the Red channel at full-scale (so your detector
will "see" red, magenta, yellow & white all the same color and detect
accordingly)
