SparkFun ISL29125 RBG Sensor

I'm trying to use SparkFun's ISL29125 RBG sensor for a line following project. I can't figure how to take the sensor reading and apply it in an if statement. The ISL29125_basics.ino works fine to print out the color values which are what would be used in the if statement. I just don't know how to get that value into the if statement. Any help would be appreciated.

ISL29125_basics.ino
Simple example for using the ISL29125 RGB sensor library.

This example declares an SFE_ISL29125 object called RGB_sensor. The 
object/sensor is initialized with a basic configuration so that it continuously
samples the light intensity of red, green and blue spectrums. These values are
read from the sensor every 2 seconds and printed to the Serial monitor.

Developed/Tested with:
Arduino Uno
Arduino IDE 1.0.5

Requires:
SparkFun_ISL29125_Arduino_Library

This code is beerware.
