I have several (C,M,Y) colour palettes that we use in UNIRAS graphics
on the VAX that I want to convert to (R,G,B) palettes for use in Windows.
Can anyone supply the algorithms to convert between these 2 colour
systems.  I have code to convert between (H,L,S) and (R,G,B).
I think the relationship between CMY and RGB is quite simple, because
CMY is subtractive and RGB is additive.
