The theory (unless you are using a LinoColor/NewColor Lab based system) is to
use a neutral RGB workingspace (where gray is R=G=B) for all processing, due
to its consistancy, effective monitor preview, and very small Matrix based
RGB profile (so tagging it to images does not make them much larger, as a
high rez LUT based printer RGB profile would). Then convert as needed, where
convenient, to a device specific RGB (or CMYK, or HEX...) output profile.
Unlike CMYK, where all spaces are device specific, in RGB work, using a
neutral, well mannered, well known, workingspace is much better than working
in an output space.
