  '''Hold a color value.
  
  Example usage:
  
  To create an instance of the grapefruit.Color from RGB values:
  
    >>> import grapefruit
    >>> r, g, b = 1, 0.5, 0
    >>> col = grapefruit.Color.NewFromRgb(r, g, b)
  
  To get the values of the color in another colorspace:
  
    >>> h, s, v = col.hsv
    >>> l, a, b = col.lab
  
  To get the complementary of a color:
  
    >>> compl = col.ComplementaryColor()
    >>> print compl.hsl
    (210.0, 1.0, 0.5)
  
  To directly convert RGB values to their HSL equivalent:
  
    >>> h, s, l = Color.RgbToHsl(r, g, b)
