If you pick a nonzero saturation, you can get r8 and b8 to become
negative in cases where ( COLU AND 15 ) is zero. In cases where
saturation is large, r8 and b8 are negative for small values of
( COLU and 15 ).
I could not find values for luminance and saturation which did not
yeild any negative values.
Should negative values be chopped to zero, or is there some problem
with these equations?
