The overlay object is picky about that sometimes. Try replacing your color match event with this:

ovlGetColorIndex( "Overlay Redux", X( "Active" ), Y( "Active" ))<>0

Just go to "compare two general values" and do that. Then it works fine on my computer.

However, I think the Overlay is a bit overkill for what it seems you are trying to do. If you are trying to make a level editor, why not just make the platforms active objects, or even just added backdrops? You can record the (x,y) positions in an array (actually, you could probably use the dynamic array), and save it for later. Saving a level as an image would take a ton of RAM and a lot of hard drive space. Saving a level as an array takes hardly any RAM or hard drive space. I made an example of this here.
