  I thought the whole idea of gamma correction was that you *don't* have
to worry about whether <.75, .75, .75> "looks right". In other words,
<.75, .75, .75> should always look the same in all systems, assuming those
systems have a proper gamma correction set up. In other words, you don't
have to be modifying that value depending on which "gamma" is being used
but you are able to always use the same absolute value and let the target
system do the necessary corrections. Which is the whole idea of gamma
correction.

  You are reversing the situation completely and basically saying that
because of gamma correction you *must* always fine-tune that color value
by hand. I think that would completely nullify the whole idea of gamma
correction.

  Besides, if you want to change the gamma of the colors used in POV-Ray,
the correct place is not the color definitions themselves, but the assumed
gamma setting of POV-Ray ('assumed_gamma' global setting in pov3.6).
