Is there any library that can convert RGB colors to ANSI colors?

Ummm actually once you have got your rgb value as an integer (or a
tuple of 3 integers) -- in the example, 0xff0000 or (0xff, 0, 0) --
the answer can be obtained in one line with operations no more
complicated than shifting, masking, and addition.
