Just read the code: it's for converting between color systems, e.g. HLS -> RGB.

True, but you need RGB values for most color values defined in web standards and things like luminance are a lot easier to change in HLS than in RGB. -0 on removing it. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Mar 20 2008)

I've never used it, but there have been cases where I could imagine being glad of a HSV->RGB converter. And having it in the stdlib is much better than having to hunt through PyPI trying to understand specialist imaging libraries. It's also only 126 lines of code[1], for pity's sake! -0 on removing it.
