Apple stores tend to be friendly for trying that sort of thing.
But it would still be nice to have somebody @apple.com (John?) chime in with a technical explanation of the marketing gobbledygook. Is it a wide-gamut display? Does each machine ship with a ROM LUT matching a factory serial-number-specific measurement? Maybe there's even some internal hardware doing some sort of colorimetry to keep the display consistent as it ages? I can think of all sorts of things I'd go and implement if given a directive worded similarly to the blurb...but I can also imagine ways to cheaply meet the bare minimum requirements of the buzzphrases. For example, you could grab a grey card at the local photo store, stop by an university and get a spectroradiometer measurement of it, scribble the resulting RGB numbers on the card with a sharpie, and then have your techs fiddle with the color controls until an RGB patch looks close enough to the card laying on the desk.
I'm sure that's not what Apple is doing...which is why it'd be really nice to know what Apple really is doing.
