As I understand it (and I missed the mentioned thread) SVG supports RGB
colour values in ICC colour spaces much the same as XSL:FO (although SVG
only REQUIRES the render to support sRGB). However FOP (and/or Batik)
need to handle translating these RGB colours into the colour space of
the output device or file which could easily be CMYK (For most printers
and press-ready PDF or PS files).

I believe at their current implementation levels both of FOP and Batik
use sRGB to output all colours in the XML and parse though binary images
unchanged. A partial solution (to many FOP issues) is to work in sRGB
whilst using FOP, output to PDF (I don't think the PS output even
supports colour yet), then run that PDF though Adobe Distiller /
Ghostscript which both have good CMYK support and will map sRGB to the
CYMK profile of your target device.
