The GIMP image editor uses https://gegl.org/babl/ which supports tons of formats and supports color spaces, ICC profiles, etc.

I would also prefer to keep colorsys simple and so not support ICC profiles for example.

YUV is a common color encoding system. It's used by the JPEG image format and MPEG video format for example.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YUV

In terms of complexity and maintenance burden, supporting YUV (PR 29512) sounds reasonable me.

If colorsys is limited to RGB/HLS/HSV, I'm not sure if it is useful. Nowadays, there are more color formats which are getting popular. If they are not supported, maybe it's better to just remove the module. I don't know.

Well, I don't have a strong opinion on adding YUV support or not.
