Phobos colour module?

[Manu via Digitalmars-d]

I've been working on a pretty comprehensive module for dealing with
colours in various formats and colour spaces and conversions between
all of these.
It seems like a hot area for duplicated effort, since anything that
deals with multimedia will need this, and I haven't seen a really
comprehensive implementation.

Does it seem like something we should see added to phobos?

My colours can be used as high-level colour values for precise numeric
work, or specify encodings such that they are directly useful to
represent pixels in images of basically any format/layout for
rendering use.

Unlike a full-blown image library which will often be implemented in
different ways for different uses, I can't imagine colours/pixels
could have a great number of implementation styles where different
API's would have any reason to compete, and as such, it seems like a
nice thing to standardise. Standardised colours would make it *much*
easier for competing image libraries to interact.

With standard colours, image libraries would tend to distinguish
themselves in terms of memory management, data layout, image
processing patterns and api, etc. Those are all valid cases for
different designs, but I can't imagine any reason for distinct colour
api's.

Comprehensive colour-space management and minimum-loss encoding is a
lot of work, and almost every implementation ignores facets of the
puzzle that aren't obviously relevant.

It would give a good foundation for other std.image related libraries
to be built on top.
I'm also working on a graphing lib, and that requires to output images.
It would be *really* nice to support common image format
readers/writers in the std library which need to handle pixel data.

Thoughts?
