Also in the <a href="/pkg/image/color/"><code>image/color</code></a> package,
the conversion of a <a href="/pkg/image/color/#YCbCr"><code>YCbCr</code></a>
value to <code>RGBA</code> has become more precise.
Previously, the low 8 bits were just an echo of the high 8 bits;
now they contain more accurate information.
Because of the echo property of the old code, the operation
<code>uint8(r)</code> to extract an 8-bit red vaue worked, but is incorrect.
In Go 1.5, that operation may yield a different value.
The correct code is, and always was, to select the high 8 bits:
<code>uint8(r&gt;&gt;8)</code>.
Incidentally, <code>image/draw</code> package
provides better support for such conversions; see
<a href="https://blog.golang.org/go-imagedraw-package">this blog post</a>
for more information.

Finally, as of Go 1.5 the closest match check in

now honors the alpha channel.

The <a href="/pkg/image/gif/"><code>image/gif</code></a> package
includes a couple of generalizations.
