Difference between two colors:

yellow = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 255, 255, 0
gold = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 255, 215, 0
```ruby
yellow = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 255, 255, 0
gold = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 255, 215, 0

ColorDiff.between yellow, gold
# => 11.584521223499245
ColorDiff.between yellow, gold
# => 11.584521223499245
```

Picking the most similar color from a list:

red = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 255, 0, 0
blue = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 0, 0, 255
yellow = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 255, 255, 0
gold = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 255, 215, 0
```ruby
red = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 255, 0, 0
blue = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 0, 0, 255
yellow = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 255, 255, 0
gold = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 255, 215, 0

list = ColorDiff::List.new [red, blue, yellow]
list.closest_to(gold) == yellow
# => true
list = ColorDiff::List.new [red, blue, yellow]
list.closest_to(gold) == yellow
# => true
```

Building a map of nearest match colors from a finite palette:

red = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 255, 0, 0
black = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 0, 0, 0
dark_gray = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 80, 80, 80
maroon = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 128, 0, 0
```ruby
red = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 255, 0, 0
black = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 0, 0, 0
dark_gray = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 80, 80, 80
maroon = ColorDiff::Color::RGB.new 128, 0, 0

list = ColorDiff::List.new [red, black]
palette = [dark_gray, maroon]
list = ColorDiff::List.new [red, black]
palette = [dark_gray, maroon]

list.closest_to_map(palette)
# => { 'R255G0B0' => maroon, 'R0B0G0' => dark_gray }
list.closest_to_map(palette)
# => { 'R255G0B0' => maroon, 'R0B0G0' => dark_gray }
```
