all of them? :)

Disclaimer; I know very little about the math involved.  (Hence the
uselessness of my answers above!)

The perldoc here:
http://search.cpan.org/~aizvorski/Graphics-ColorObject-0.4a4/ColorObject.pm
suggests that converting from RGB to a HSV colour wheel (say) is
non-linear if you want to correct for gamma.

Check out the "see also" section on that page for two interesting
references for more info.  The first one looks well suited to providing an
explanation without code...
