[BUG]: Namespace clash with colour package. #958
Description
Description
The colour namespace used by this package collides with the colour package. Usually this is not a problem when packages have the same name as their project namespace (since these must be unique on PyPI) but since this project uses the name colour-science, the usual collision avoidance does not work.
Is there a way to configure colour-science to coexist with the colour package?
My actual issue is that I am using manim which depends on colour, so the solution suggested on stack overflow will not work unless I modify manim.
