For example, in the RGB color space, using 8-bit unsigned channels, the color red is defined as [255 0 0], which means maximum of Red, and no Green and Blue.

Built-in scalar types, such as \p int and \p float, are valid GIL channels. In more complex scenarios, channels may be represented as bit ranges or even individual bits.
In such cases special classes are needed to represent the value and reference to a channel.

Channels have a traits class, \p channel_traits, which defines their associated types as well as their operating ranges.

///         COLOR BASE CONCEPTS
///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

/// \ingroup ColorBaseConcept
/// \brief A color base is a container of color elements (such as channels, channel references or channel pointers)
/**
The most common use of color base is in the implementation of a pixel, in which case the color
elements are channel values. The color base concept, however, can be used in other scenarios. For example, a planar pixel has channels that are not
contiguous in memory. Its reference is a proxy class that uses a color base whose elements are channel references. Its iterator uses a color base
whose elements are channel iterators.

A color base must have an associated layout (which consists of a color space, as well as an ordering of the channels).
There are two ways to index the elements of a color base: A physical index corresponds to the way they are ordered in memory, and
a semantic index corresponds to the way the elements are ordered in their color space.
For example, in the RGB color space the elements are ordered as {red_t, green_t, blue_t}. For a color base with a BGR layout, the first element
in physical ordering is the blue element, whereas the first semantic element is the red one.
Models of \p ColorBaseConcept are required to provide the \p at_c<K>(ColorBase) function, which allows for accessing the elements based on their
physical order. GIL provides a \p semantic_at_c<K>(ColorBase) function (described later) which can operate on any model of ColorBaseConcept and returns
the corresponding semantic element.

\code
concept ColorBaseConcept<typename T> : CopyConstructible<T>, EqualityComparable<T> {
    // a GIL layout (the color space and element permutation)
    typename layout_t;
