This seems overkill.

I think it should be enough if colors are kept the way they are and
there are introduced parser functions to convert a 3D vector to and
from hsb and rgb. This will keep backwards compatibility and will
offer the user more power. I am not sure how useful this will be,
though, as everything here mentioned can be done with simple macros.
