## Detailed Description

Transform colors from/to a polar representation (hue, brighness, saturation). In many situations, this is more inituitive than direct initialization in a particular color space. The polar coordinates are normalized so that a color angle of 0 degrees is always associated with red (green is at about 120 degrees, blue at about 240 degrees - exact values differ between color spaces). A saturation of 1 is the highest saturation that any RGB color gets after transformation into the respective color space, and saturation 0 corresponds to gray. Thus, different color spaces become somewhat comparable.
