Can anyone help me with a color requester?? I need an algorithm to convert
from RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values for a color to HLS (Hue, Luminance,
Saturation) for the same color, and back again. Please DONT tell me how
to convert RGB <-> HVS (Hue, Value, Saturation) as this is a slightly
different color representation and not what I need.
	It's pretty strange... I found at least 5 different sources ('c' code,
textbooks, people, etc...) that explain RGB <-> HVS, but nowhere RGB <-> HLS!!
It's a conspiracy! yah, thats it! :-)
	I NEED this algorithm fast, it's for a project and other people are
waiting for my part!!!! So please help!!!!!
