an alternative to krux_colors.py

Description

An alternative utility script to krux_colors.py, for review by others...
potentially to replace krux_colors.py because it converts both ways, and because I believe there is a green error in krux_colors.py (however if I'm correct and krux_colors.py is adjusted to solve green, rgbconv.py would still require an option to swap byte-order).

I have a gist with further thoughts: here

Good catch! I wonder your previous work reviewing Shannon's entropy, sweeping color spectrum in search of higher entropy lead you to this finding.
I believe we will have to review theme colors. Probably some funny things I noticed on colors aren't caused by display quality as I previously though, but this green bits order issue.
Your neat quality enhancing contributions are very inspiring. Thanks!

Yes, that's exactly what caught me onto this. For days, it's been bugging me, making me feel guilty that I never understood what was happening... and that I had bailed before figuring it out.

Great PR, now it's time to review theme colors, especially grays. Will also change simulator and Android code using rgb16_to_rgb24 as reference. Thanks!
