You are matching, but you are not capturing. You need the parens around the match.

@colors = $new =~ m/(\[color=.*\])/gi;

If there are no parentheses, it returns a list of all the matched strings, as if there were parentheses around the whole pattern. -- perlop / Regexp Quote-Like Operators

Thank you Anomo - you are right. Without the /g operator it will return '1'; but, it will capture just fine using the operator: something that frankly I have never used or noticed.
Thanks again.
