I agree. It was already on the wish list, but it's moved up :-)

The problem is that RGB channels are added to generate color (R+G+B) 
= white, while CMY is subtracting from white. An extra problem with 
CMY could be that I get the impression that some fixtures uses white 
to black (0-100% CMY), while others use black to white.

The Coemar wash, Var-Lite iWash e.g. uses white to black, while e.g. 
HES studio color goes from black to white.

Does anyone know whether this is correct, or do they all go from 
white to black if you use the CMY channels?
