Carries out mapping between assorted color spaces including RGB, HSV, HLS,
             CIEXYZ, CIELUV, HCL (polar CIELUV), CIELAB and polar CIELAB.
	     Qualitative, sequential, and diverging color palettes based on HCL colors
	     are provided along with corresponding ggplot2 color scales.
	     Color palette choice is aided by an interactive app (with either a Tcl/Tk
	     or a shiny GUI) and shiny apps with an HCL color picker and a
	     color vision deficiency emulator. Plotting functions for displaying
	     and assessing palettes include color swatches, visualizations of the
	     HCL space, and trajectories in HCL and/or RGB spectrum. Color manipulation
	     functions include: desaturation, lightening/darkening, mixing, and
	     simulation of color vision deficiencies (deutanomaly, protanomaly, tritanomaly).
