Color Posterization in Lab vs RGB Color Space

LAB-Posterization.jpg

Something I was noticing. If you posterize a color image (maybe somewhat in the vein of the Shepard Fairey Obama image) you seem to get more 'intuitive' results by posterizing in Lab color space.

The RGB image posterized to 4 levels each of R, G, and B, and each set of bands in each channel fall in different places, which causes what I consider to be some unexpected color combinations.
