Color inaccuracies from converting 24-bit RGB -> YUV -> 24-bit RGB (BT.709)
""" This simulates converting 24-bit RGB values to YUV, then back to 24-bit RGB.
Using BT.709 transfer functions:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rec._709
It demonstrates that converting to 30-bit YUV then back to 24-bit RGB is lossy.
Using 10 bits per YUV value appears to be lossless.
Converting RGB (24-bit) -> YUV (64-bit floats per channel, normalized [0-1]) -> RGB (24-bit)
Found 0 inaccurate conversions out of 16581375 RGB values
