CMYK is used in printing. Lab is gamut-free and is widely used in
scientific applications. HSB is used by many artists because it's more
natural (make this color warmer, no honey it's too dark, hush it's
screaming etc.) LUV (or YUV) is used in JPEG and MPEG compression.

These are the ones I can come up with off the top of my head.
