No, it must be something given by tesseract because there could be
more red than black (font color in this example) and so it would all
screw up!
Anyway I can just get the text from tesseract before with the boxes
positions... but the problem is that I also need the exact color of
the word tesseract picked up.

Tesseract surelly store the positions of the texts when it compute the
image, but the point is... is there a way to get these?
