That is the rub, except for art reproduction no one *really* wants accurate color throughout the image, they want pleasing color. Even in advertising where a product may need to be accurate, the rest of the photograph doesn't, and probably is not.
Historically, Kodachrome, Velvia, etc were manipulated by the pros to give the color they wanted. That is both the beauty and ugliness of RAW. We tend now to get a host of images that are hyper colorized, which while individually may be interesting/attractive, as a body of work they tend to make my eyes tired of looking at them.
That being said, I love RAW it allows me to manipulate the image to closer match my internal vision than ever before, and I no longer have to be locked in a darkroom to make it happen.
