please have a look to this link, I removed cookies for youtube and colour came back, until I moved to another page...

I have found a workaround:

you have to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash player.
As probably the settings button is greyed, please visit this site
http://www.youtube.com/swf_test.html
By right-clicking you can disable hardware acceleration and then enjoy Youtube again.

Where is the bug, if any??

We cannot decide whether this is a bug in flash player (and there are known issues of flash-player on Fedora 14) or a bug in Xorg, and we cannot do much about it given the proprietary nature of flash.

Closing as CANTFIX, and please reopen if you are able to proove that this is actually an issue with software provided by the Fedora project.
