Andrew,
But to call that accurate is a stretch since its up to
interpretation and there is no way to prove it using scientific testing
methods.
What I said to start this ball rolling was:-
"But I don't want 'fantastic' color!! I want the nearest we can get to
accurate color. Then, if I wish, I can play with it and make it as fantastic
as I like, or not. But it is very hard to get back to near-accurate if all
you get is 'fantastic' color to start with."
So 'nearest we can get to accurate color', 'near-accurate', and 'least
inaccurate' are the terms I have used on this subject!
Surely we can measure how accurate or inaccurate our rendered colors are? I
thought I had been doing just that recently. Measured the colors of my
ColorChecker with my i1 (since the published values seem to vary a lot).
Photographed it with various Nikon cameras. Rendered them with ACR and Nikon
Capture in different modes. Compared the rendered values with the original
values and calculated individual and average stats on the closeness of the
match to the original. That is scientific isn't it?
All of that gives me three LR presets for each camera for skin tone, general
pastel colors, and saturated colors. Each of those minimises the mismatch of
the target colors.
