i think that this will be a valuable addition. i really tired of copypasting various color model conversion code, for example, and i can never do that to the extent of "real" module. it will be great if Phobos will have tools for working with colors out of the box.

You're likely to have more success making it an independent library and putting it on code.dlang.org.

Remember that tying the library to Phobos means that any bugs fixed will only reach people after a new version of DMD+Phobos is released, and releases are infrequent.

I would do that to start with, but the difference is that if I work with phobos in mind, then I'll raise design discussion here, otherwise I'll just keep it to myself.

I think having a color module in Phobos is OK. But probably it's better to write it with Phobos in mind but to keep it in code.dlang for some time, like one year, to refine its API, before adding it to Phobos.
