You do need to pay special attention to colours in stars during acquisition and processing.
My CCDs though you don't really need to worry about it. Not sure why the star colours tend to be weaker. Perhaps a consequence of smaller pixels and coloured filters attenuating the light further so best suited to larger pixels.
