I don't know how "famous" the blog post is. The theory that black is unnatural is a standard which has existed well before August 2012 and dates back to the masters who rarely used black when painting.
To answer your question, I'd say no.
While it's true that in nature you never find pure back, the same is not true for white. Using a color other than true ...

For this process you should start with fully expanded artwork (no strokes), and all objects should have 100% opacity. If you're starting with a live trace, just make sure you've hit Expand.
Step 1: Merge Artwork
Select all the artwork you would like to separate and click the Merge button. This can be found in the Pathfinder panel. This brings all the ...

Scripting could make this...
Much faster: If you load from the same source files (swatch files or directly from AI docs) repeatedly. The script would load each set of swatches with your involvement simply being to invoke the script.
Marginally faster: If you have to load from different files each time. Targeting the "other" entry in the panel menu is a ...

The hard part of this task is to define what "accurate colors" means. For different lighting conditions "accurate colors" means something different. So is the accurate representation the one of how visitors of an exhibition see the painting, or the one where the photo has been taken under laboratory conditions? You need a clear vision what the final picture ...

This is a huge topic. Each image is different. There will almost never be one workflow or setting which is going to work for all images. You need to treat each image individually. Sure equalizing RGB and then bringing them back to 200 may be sufficient, but that's like buying the same size clothes for all three of your children - might work for one, but not ...

The actual fanning looks like layered transparency. Meaning, you maybe start with a rectangle, cut it down to size, and make more on top until you are fully opaque.
I'd look into the Draw Inside feature in Illustrator. That way, you create your fanned look and then cut and paste the shape(s) into whatever shape.
I'll try and expand this answer later, but I ...

Could surely be done with the pen tool and pathfinder tool in illustrator.
It would be much easier to use a layer mask in photoshop however.
That said, if you're creating a new, important logo, for anything other than a one off website, you're better off not taking short cuts and refining every detail of the logo in illustrator so you have it as a vector ...

There's (luckily) not one answer for your question. The simplest solution is to take the RGB-value difference from 255. In your case red (255-207=48), green (255-58=197), blue (255-27=228). In HEX: #30C5E4.
I prepared different solutions for you here.
For the first one I only changed the hue value (+180°).
The second one is the solution from my first ...
