Same with the new MBP.

The text does fade in over a second or two, and while that happens, I can notice the entire screen flicker ever so slightly. There's clearly some very impressively calibrated interplay between the LCD panel and the backlight going on.

> I can understand why the notion programmers have that "color" is an RGB triple of 8-bit integers from 0 to 255 is so attractive.

Most of the time when dealing with color, it's colors of UI elements. And those are assumed to be sRGB anyway.
