[Feature request] Add class `Color` about distinctipy HOT 4 OPEN

Hi @Erol444 , thanks for using distinctipy! I think I'd be happy for this to be added to distinctipy because I can see some of the benefits, but note that:

• I'd like distinctipy to have as few dependencies as possible (but extra dependencies for optional features is ok)
• I'd like any changes to be backwards compatible, as much as possible (if they're not we can discuss whether the change is worth a major version bump)

But PRs certainly welcome 🙂

Great, I'll take a look when I have some time (hopefully later this week)

Head up: for our project (depthai-sdk) we might fork this to remove dependencies to panda/matplotlib and create a separate library, as we don't require such features (only create unique colors).

@Erol444 The latest versions of distinctipy only have numpy as a core dependency actually, the pandas/matplotlib/etc. dependencies are optional extras now, which you should only get if you do pip install 'distinctipy[optional]' or pip install 'distinctipy[all]'. If you're still getting them from pip install distinctipy that's a bug.

I have now noticed I was on the old branch (develop) and that main has had a few updates. Now I see that matplotlib/pandas aren't dependencies anymore, which is perfect!
