+    Supports following color formats:
+
+    - `rgb255`: The standard computer representation, with each
+      channel (red, green, blue, alpha) in the [0-255] range. Alpha
+      channel (index 4), can either be explicit or implicit (and taken
+      to be 255.)
+    - `rgb1`: As above, except channels are in the [0-1] range.
+    - `hsl`: Hue-saturation-lightness representation (does not support alpha).
+      Hue channel is in the [0-1] range, instead of the standard [0-2*pi] range.
