You are right about it, methodology is not clear on this point.

All metrics compute data on *decoded* data, being RGB or YUV. Maybe authors 
could publish a flow of their methodology, that would ease the discussion.

As I already said, it's not really a good idea to use luma-only metrics to 
assess colored image, as coders tend to blend colors as the quality index 
decreases.
