Red / Blue colors are incorrect after update to 5.11.1 (OSX) #20

Environment: OSX mavericks, prismatik 5.11.1 release

I'm noticing a color difference after updating to 5.11.1. Please note that during this time I also changed laptops, which could be a factor if there's some type of color calibration issue.

I have tried uninstalling prismatik, updating the firmware (to hw7), and re-installing prismatik, but still observe the issue.

Previously, when selecting red, I saw a deep red and presumably only the red led was lighting up. Now when switching to red it has a reddish hue, but is much brighter and closer to being pink.

Looking more closely at the led, you can tell the blue and green are also shining during this state: dsc02993

Blue also has issues. It appears more like an indigo or violet than an a solid blue like I used to see: dsc02996 dsc02997

Green appears to work as expected, when looking closely i don't see red or blue shining at all. dsc02995

@seltzered could you repeat your test again and share logs (run prismatik with --debug-high command line option)? Thanks.

@e-yes yes, Here's a gist of the debug log ( https://gist.github.com/seltzered/d85ceeb274a4a82e1697 ) where I did the following steps:

1) opened prismatic 2) went to menubar and turned the lights on (it was already set to do 'red') 3) changed color to blue 4) changed color to green 5) changed color back to red.

Hope this helps! Only things that stick out are the gamma correction (set to 0.05), overall brightness (100%), and from the logs there's something called a luminosity threshold set to 83, no idea what that is though.

I am also having the same problem on Mac OS 10.10. All colors are washed out, 100% red has blue and green / 100% blue still has red and green / 100% green still has blue and red lit.

somre more notes from my testing: this issue either seems to occur on prismatik 5.11.1 & 5.11.2 (tested on a rMBP 15", OS X 10.9 or 10.10), but does not occur on prismatik 5.10.7 (just tested on a mbp 2011, OS X 10.9) both using the same lightpack with firmware 7.6. Will try to share the log when 5.10.7 when I get a chance.
