I read that you wanted to compensate because the color pixels seem to fool the camera.

One simply can't get away with full auto using a Canon 7D. The focus will
be pin sharp and the autoexposure will be correct on average, so that
the individual brightest color dots will be very highly overexposed. This
totally ruins the color. You absolutely must either defocus or
use manual exposure to way way underexpose.
