1. I didn't suggest using a different color representation from CIE Luv (but see
#2).

What I tried to suggest was to find a CIE Luv <-> RGB conversion algorithm on
the Web, and then adapt the code in hexrgb.el to use that algorithm. I'm
guessing that any such algorithm wouldn't be too different from HSV <-> RGB. And
hexrgb.el handles the rest, beyond the basic conversion.

2. Are you sure CIE Luv is well suited to use with a CRT or LCD screen? Human
color perception is one thing; what screens emit is another thing.

Anyway, I'm no expert on this. Good luck.
