Sounds like Hartsfield's ILS need a tweek! I would suggest the crew takes an colour blindness test. Taxi way lighting is blue as opposed to white for the runway. Still not the first time and will not be the last time either.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

This is wierd, cause the weather was said to be good.

They're very lucky this didn't end up much worse.  Reminds me of the SIA 747 that took off on a taxiway in Tapei and hit construction equipment.
