	# This routine is adapted from: https://gist.github.com/jdiaz5513/9218791
	#
	# Things I changed:
	# * Cache the results of color_distance() lookups, for a big speed-up.
	# * Adjusted the RGB values for ANSI_COLORS to match original CGA values
	# * Changed default fill character to a PC-ANSI shaded block character
	# * Added some timer code to help with optimizing the conversion routine
