Fair enough. Then it's really a matter of intended audience. It is a correct technical term for the color-domain educated audience. Could be that I'm one of the few outside that audience, but probably not :). The wikipedia article does note that pseudo-color is an alternative, and that carries less generally negative connotation. This is all nitpicking anyway, but thanks for the bit of education! [added - although now I can pick at the definition of "true color", since it is based on the idea of how a color would appaer to a human viewer. We know pretty well that there's quite a variance of perception of color amongst humans, so there arguably is no "true color". There's just X% of people see this color. :) ]
