Of course, the light-detector can't see color, only brightness. Luckily, • the
different colors of lego bricks are different enough that the sensor can
tell the difference. But there may be other things that return the same

Covering the light sensor with a red filter (made of, say, cellophane) would
probably also help distinguish red from non-red, I expect.
Try it and see!
