[SML] Moving Light Colour Mixing philosophy question

I found that it helped to think of CMY as RGB turned upside-down, in terms
of what sliders do.

For why CMY is still there, if it's a profile unit that needs beam consistency
all the way through complex optics, RGB(AW) chips would probably get weirdly
patchy by the time the light hit a target.  Some "par" units do that too, and
need some strategically-placed frost to even out the wash a bit more.  I guess
nobody's yet making a multi-color COB emitter?  Possibly more efficient too,
but I haven't researched the LPW of those vs. typical multi-chip emitters.
