It would be very simple to do once you have the code for converting 
between the color systems. I can think of two possible ways of doing the 
syntax:
1: Separate rgb_to_hls(), rgb_to_cmy(), rgb_to_hsv() functions.
2: Three functions: rgb_to(COLOR_SYS, COLOR), to_rgb(COLOR_SYS, COLOR), 
convert_color(COLOR_SYS_SRC, COLOR_SYS_DEST, COLOR). This has the 
advantage of being simpler when there are a lot of color systems.
