Hmm.  Well, if you view color as a vector <r, g, b, 0> (or should that be a 
1?), then you can use a matrix to transform it.

For instance, pushing the ball around would create translation matrices inside
the RGB vector space.  Rotating the ball would generate rotation matrices.  
Not sure how one would create scaling matrices from the ball input.  

Anyway, this would mean that you could rotate and move the colors around in 
presumably interesting ways for adjustment.  One could allow one of the buttons
on the space ball to put you in a mode for doing color space projections, and 
warping, shearing.  

This actually is related to something else I'm working on.  Since I don't have
a space ball, obviously I'm not using it for this though.
