Subject: [PATCH] Add semantic color system for containers and codecs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Implements professional color taxonomy based on NLE/broadcast conventions:
- Container colors (MKV teal, MP4 blue, MOV indigo, etc.)
- Video codec colors (AV1 emerald, HEVC lime, H.264 sky blue, etc.)
- Audio codec colors (Opus violet, AAC purple, FLAC magenta, etc.)
- Pixel format colors (yuv420p slate, HDR cyan, etc.)

Helper functions to retrieve colors by format/codec name.
Foundation for color-coded UI badges in Convert module.
