<p>Octave supports conversion from the RGB color system to NTSC and HSV
and vice versa.

<blockquote><p>Transform a colormap or image from the RGB space to the HSV space.
<p>A color in the RGB space consists of the red, green and blue intensities.
<p>In the HSV space each color is represented by their hue, saturation
and value (brightness). Value gives the amount of light in the color.
Hue describes the dominant wavelength.
Saturation is the amount of hue mixed into the color.
