All of these models are attempts to represent a limited range of the dynamic color spectrum. None of them are based on human visual characteristics.
There's also HSB which substitutes for Lightness, 'Brightness', perhaps a more 'visual' quality. (etc)
RGB is a direct representation of the strength of the three values used to create a color on the typical color display, but it's not 'visual selection' !
Still, why should _not_ a general specification such as CSS include a range of widely used and recognized color models???
What do you mean by "falsely raising user expectations," Chris? This is sort of a non-statement, since you have no idea who "user" is...
Can you provide a reference/URL to the study you mention?
Cheers!
