That's nomenclature - I understand what you mean and have no problems in using the word "color" in that sense (in the context of libraw, that is). I normally use it in a somewhat different sense - but that does not matter at all here and is of no concern for the discussion.

> They are about projecting the device space into a colorimetric space, where colour is known

Exactly. I would not put it that way, as I consider it misunderstandable, but we are talking about the same thing here.
