"""Switchboard class. This class is used to coordinate updates among all Viewers. Every Viewer must conform to the following interface: - it must include a method called update_yourself() which takes three arguments; the red, green, and blue values of the selected color. - When a Viewer selects a color and wishes to update all other Views, it should call update_views() on the Switchboard object. Not that the Viewer typically does *not* update itself before calling update_views(), since this would cause it to get updated twice.
