This makes sense for a filter that's trying to correct what we call white balance- like a three-legged stool, you only ever have to adjust two legs to make the top level.

Could be I’m missing the point, but cutting / extending two legs of a three legged chair will close to NEVER make the desired height.
But yes, it will level it if needed, to stick to the reference.

I'm missing out on the ‘analog’ reference. AFAIK, YUV is still in use in (digital) codecs.
And it’s hard to grasp if you do color correction, and are used to fancy tools like Resolve. (That used to be a 100.000+ tool not so long ago.)
