If I'm not mistaking it has the largest color space of the RGB's and thus the most capability of rendering different color nuances. About printing: in PS you can emulate the print result in preview (with the printer profile selected) and do corrections in function of that preview. This means that you can 'predict' and control how your print will look in real, even if the initial RGB would look completely different on your screen. It's not the easiest way, but it's there should you need it.
