But I guess the thing I don't understand is, why is it
converted if there is no change/modification of the values?
If there was it would make sense...

In most gfx apps when you export to nearest websafe color
(or convert otherwise), the results will always be the same
if the values do not change, it only converts when
necessary.... so why do we convert even when no changes are
made?

I understand that exporting is a one time operation, but I
would assume that conversion would be the same... plus as I
said, it makes sense if it happens within a range, but for
it to continue in one direction and only stop when it maxes
out says it's got issues. (unfortunaty I use HSL more than
RGB... and I did prefer HSV even, but that's neither here
nor there because the same problem existed for that)

I'm not trying to give you a hard time, just trying to
understand why it works like it does w/ the constant
adjustment in one direction, and I can't figure out via the
source just quite yet.
