If you ask an artist or designer about how colour works when you'll usually get is a deep sigh, followed by "it's complicated", followed by a looooooooooong explanation of some of the options presented here and a good few more besides.
It's usually developers who have the broken models of colour perception because, unsurprisingly, they're not trained in it :-) Artists and designers deal with multiple colour models all of the time - just go look at how many of the preferences in things like Photoshop are about managing colour... and that's just in the digital editing space.
