Should we maintain this class-wide in its definition instead?

I am not sure I follow this code-path.

If we cannot find a winner from colorSpaceNames vector, we return a 
bunch of color-spcae specific information below? Can you please cover 
this here (via a comment) and in doxygen documentation above of the 
function?
