You might consider implementing the simplyfied Perl API as 
ColorGamma::Simple, or conversely preserving the current implementation 
as ColorGamma::Raw?  I'm all for making things simpler, but as an early 
adopter...

Before even getting it installed, my intial thought *was* that it should 
be a Mac:: module. Unless you intend to implement the API in a generic 
enough way for it to be useful on other Perls, it still makes *some* 
sense to place it in the Mac:: hierarchy.

Mac::ColorGamma

or perhaps

Screen::ColorGamma

or even

Monitor::ColorGamma

Hmm...
