You need to click the most SATURATED color. Knowing the saturation priority will help here when the colors are close. The most saturated color doesn't mean the darkest color (example: blue vs yellow)  The most saturated color in SIMPLE terms means the one with the most color pigment.  If a color is brighter but more grey, it might not be the most saturated. Hope this makes sense ''~Zreyas''

This page will contain methods for extracting ore as well as any other theories on mining.

To work a mine, you must learn the skill Ore Extraction from the School of Architecture. To further increase your yield per mining attempt, you may learn the second level of ore extraction (7 tin ore, 7 copper ore, 7 iron ore).

Iron

  • Click the color cystal that doesn't belong and then work the mine. Success yields 3 ore at level 1 and 2 Ore Extraction skill. At OE level 2, Clicking the odd crystal one cycle later results in 4 ore.

Copper

  • To get a normal yield, click the most saturated color. Saturated = Fullest, deepest, richest color. To get extra yield, click where that saturated color was 1 turn later. For example, if you see a very deep blue gem, click where it was in the next round (after it changes) to get the extra yield (4 with OE2). (Combined from Zreyas' info)

Tin

It looks like mining the most brownish crystal results in a constant 1 tin ore revenue. There's no difference between the ore extraction levels as far as I can tell. It is said to be possible to get up to 3 tin ore from the mine, but this is not (yet) repeatable. Macbeth
