[pix_colormatrix] is very good for that stuff. Optionally you can combine
it with [pix_threshold] or others.
[pix_colormatrix] allows you, for example, to do things like new_red =
old_red - old_green - old_blue, in order to identify redness in a way that
excludes yellow, purple and white. You'd make a column with constants 1,
-1, -1.
For singling out other colors you would use those numbers in a different
order, or the numbers 1, 1, -2 in any order (for secondary colors), or any
other combination (for finding other colors).
