It depends on the color space, so for RGB yes. Remember, RGB can have multiple neutrals based on brightness. Neutrals need not always be gray. Black and White can be neutral. In RGB any color with all three numbers being equal will be gray. The higher the values the brighter the tone. so 250,250,250 is neutral...
The answer to your earlier question about my settings is that setting the highlight and neutral to 254, 254, 254 and the Shadow to 4,4,4 keeps my CM from forcing every highlight to the highest values and every shadow to the lowest. This is so that when I print no matter how hard I push the highlights I should have some tonality in the pixels.
Hmmm the LAB should be a better correction overall...try it again and be picky about the neutral...remember LAB likes only 1 neutral.
