I would be interested in such a library. One of the prime requirements I
have on a color class is that the storage format fits commonly used ones
like RGBA 8:8:8:8 or YUV 4:2:2, etc...
This makes it possible to interact with legacy libs (X, OpenGL, OpenCV,
imagemagic, ...), which often use raw image buffers, efficiently.

I would also like to see easy conversions between the types (YUV a =
color_cast<YUV>(RGB(0x411468)); or something simmilar)
I don't know exactly how Ranges fit in.
