This needs a second review by a core developer, and review time is scarce. However, this is flagged for 3.11 and I'm pretty sure it will get the attention in...

Considering this again, I'm leaning slightly towards an abstract base class. To be clear, both variants are acceptable solutions for the use case and would do the job. The relevant...

@trygvrad Thanks for taking the effort to write out both alternatives! I still like the ABC approach a bit more. Could you please add `Norm` to the docs [here](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/main/doc/api/colors_api.rst#color-norms) to...
