Research direction

Start by locating the existing hex(::Colorant) implementation and the parse methods for CSS rgb(...), rgba(...), and hsl(...) in Colors.jl. Add corresponding color-to-string conversions for those formats, then verify that each generated string is accepted by the existing parser.

Description

enhancement help wanted

We have hex(::Colorant), but it would be nice to have functions to convert colors to the other formats accepted by parse, specifically CSS's rgb(...), rgba(...), and hsl(...).
