I don't see how that could be done via Pillow (which AFAICT only converts complete images). RGB<->HSV<->HLS conversion seems to be not available (or not obvious) in colorspacious.

Correct, colorspacious doesn't support HSV or HLS. I suppose it would be trivial enough to add...

The 'colour' package has them (along with everything else you can dream of): https://colour.readthedocs.io/en/latest/colour.models.html
