I believe Bas said the above could be improved by doing gamma correction, but the method he found was patented by Microsoft >.< So I don't know if it'll be improved anytime soon.
I was under the impression that the Microsoft ClearType Tuner uses gamma correction to tweak ClearType.
Using the ClearType Tuner in Win7, you can make font rendering anywhere from completely monochrome to heavily colored if you desire. Launch the Microsoft Magnifier if you need help identifying the monochrome ClearType setting.
If you don't like seeing a rainbow effect, why aren't you guys using a monochrome ClearType setting to workaround the problem?
Personally, I found lightly colored to be more visually appealing then completely monochrome, considering how LCD displays work. It only looks bad when you pixel peep, most of the time.
