When you use CMY or HSI (with or without an effect), you are able to 'dim' the fixtures using the 'virtual' intensity parameter.
However, when you are color mixing using RGB, the RGB parameters are defined as intensity parameters, and over-ride the 'virtual' intensity parameter for the entire fixture.
You're unable to dim the fixture(s) as a whole when applying an effect to the RGB channels, because that would essentially knock out your RGB effect.
Am I getting this right so far?
If that is the case, I believe we run into some troubles here.

The color abstraction layer in the WH3 allows you to use CMY or HSI interchangeably on most color-mixing fixtures. However, an RGB method is not built in to this model right now. (I believe there is a feature request for that somewhere. Can someone verify this?)
Ideally, a set of RGB parameters would be added to the Color wheel-set. These would need to be dependent on the main intensity channel, unlike the current RGB intensity channels, which over-ride other parameters.
Can someone in the control department comment on the feasability of this? From previous discussions on the color model, I think there may be something that makes this not-so-easy, but I can't pinpoint it right now.

Akito,
Please let me know if this looks correct or if I can clarify anything in my (long-winded) message.
