I must admit I have no practical experience on this only theoretical experience and sort of confirmed why they still make mono cameras in the first place.

I suspect with colour cameras the preciseness of the colour pixels in the camera would vary based on the filtering of RGB for each pixel where with mono each pixel of exposure is identical for each colour with only variation being the filter which can be easily resolved with software.

Each pixel filter in colour cameras would need to be exactly same throughout and manfacturing process's may not be that tight.

I believe there may be some cameras that use 4 seperate sensors to resolve this and maybe used in space scopes.
