No. What makes you think that? You enter a linear (gamma 1.0) color.

That's not a quick and dirty workaround, that's the correct solution. 
See <http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.1/260/> ("For new 
scenes, you should use an assumed gamma value of 1.0 as this models how 
light appears in the real world more realistically.").

(I've never completely understood why this setting exists at all, given 
that it only has one correct value (1.0), but that's another topic.)

See also <http://news.povray.org/439af61d%241%40news.povray.org> and the 
whole thread it's in.
