"""Conversion functions between RGB and other color systems.

This modules provides two functions for each color system ABC:

  rgb_to_abc(r, g, b) --> a, b, c
  abc_to_rgb(a, b, c) --> r, g, b

All inputs and outputs are triples of floats in the range [0.0...1.0]
(with the exception of I and Q, which covers a slightly larger range).
Inputs outside the valid range may cause exceptions or invalid outputs.

Supported color systems:
RGB: Red, Green, Blue components
YIQ: Luminance, Chrominance (used by composite video signals)
HLS: Hue, Luminance, Saturation
HSV: Hue, Saturation, Value
