• Refactored codebase.
• Added multiprocessing to extraction process in palex.extraction_utils.py.
  • Optimized color extraction for single image files with multiprocessing.
  • Removed multiprocessing for multiple image files (refer to extract_color_palettes() function of palex.__main__.py v1.2.0).

• Added enforcement of RGB color space in process_image() function of palex.image_utils.py.
• Added constants for Pastel color range to palex.constants.py.
