The discussion suggests that the different color models are strictly
device dependent.  So gtroff cannot tell about the psychological effects
of CMYK for different devices.

So the best way would be to deal in gtroff (and the intermediate output)
with RGB only because that is easier for most users.  Then color splitting
will be done by each device according to its nature.  There should be 
general library functions that help with the transition from  RGB to CMYK.
A README file in the source directory containing the devices would be
helpful as well.
