Someone said it right, accuracy on something like this isn't everything. And on this color subject, one must consider the effect a white interior color will have on your eyes staring at it on your monitor for the lengths of time we do.
IMO, it's likely to be too bright and hard on the eyes after a while. So this color choice the DEV's made is probably due to this.
All simulation is a comprimise from the real thing and some things like this are done like it is as they are to accomidate the limits of the human eye, and the strain it may have on it.
One reason why I like the colors of this forum for instance, over those of other's I visit who's background is white. Very hard on my eyes, and I really notice the difference when I've been reading here for a while, and then go to say RCG foums and my eyes just go bonkers with it's white background.
