Last time I looked into the MiLight devices, it seemed like the protocol didn't support RGB but instead converted it into a more constrained space - is that accurate?

The JavaScript code linked suggests that it indeed uses 19 levels of brightness and 256 levels of (rotated) hue. [1]

This is correct, if you want to use these for mood lighting you probably also want RGB+saturation as the effect will be much nice. For a cheap bulb that can be controlled programatically these are great though.
