+A colour in @command{libcolour} is represented using
+
+@example
+typedef union libcolour_colour @{
+ enum libcolour_model model;
+ struct libcolour_rgb rgb;
+ struct libcolour_srgb srgb;
+ struct libcolour_ciexyy ciexyy;

+ struct libcolour_ycgco ycgco;
+ struct libcolour_cie1960ucs cie1960ucs;
+ struct libcolour_cieuvw cieuvw;
+@} libcolour_colour_t;
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+where @code{.model} is used to select colour model.
+Each @code{enum} and @code{struct} is also @code{typedef}:ed
+to the same name but with an @code{_t} suffix.
+
+The macro @code{LIBCOLOUR_LIST_MODELS} can be used to list
+all available colour models. It expands to a list of
+calls to @code{X} with the appropriate value for @code{.model}
+as the first argument and the @code{struct}, using the
+@code{typedef} name with the @code{_t} suffix, which is used
+to represent colours in that colour model as the second
+argument. It can used like this:
+
+@example
+void print_libcolour_srgb_t(libcolour_srgb* colour)
+@{
+ printf("sRGB(%lf, %lf, %lf, with_gamma = %i)\n",
+ colour->R, colour->G, colour->B, colour->with_gamma);
+@}
+
+/* ... */
+
+void print_colour(libcolour_colour_t* colour)
+@{
+#define X(MODEL, TYPE)\
+ case MODEL:\
+ print_##TYPE((TYPE*)colour);\
+ break;
+#undef X
+ switch (colour->model) @{
+ LIBCOLOUR_LIST_MODELS
+ default:
+ printf("Unknown colour model!\n");
+ break;
+ @}
+@}
+@end example
+
+To convert between a colour into another colour space,
+the function @code{libcolour_convert} is used. It takes
+two arguments, both if the type @code{libcolour_colour_t*}.
+The first parameter is @code{const}, it shall be the
+colour you want to convert. The second parameter shall
+be a different pointer, and it shall have it's @code{.model}
+set to the wanted colour model, and any colour space
+specific parameter for that model shall also be set. It
+can be used like this:
+
+@example
+int to_srgb(const libcolour_colour* from, libcolour_srgb_t* to)
+@{
+ to->model = LIBCOLOUR_SRGB;
+ to->with_gamma = 1;
+ return libcolour_convert(from, to);
+@}
+@end example
+
+@code{libcolour_convert} return 0 on success, on error @math{-1}
+is returned and @code{errno} is to indicate the error. Possible
+errors are:
+@table @code
+@item EINVAL
+Invalid colour model.
+@end table
+
+Colours obtained by conversion can be out of gamut. In RGB
+colour spaces, including sRGB, this means that at least one
+of the values (@code{.R}, @code{.G}, or @code{.B}) is less
+than 0 or greater than 1. @command{libcolour} does not provide
+any colour-matching functions for finding an in-gamut colour.
