Dave Artz: > how about a way for designers to easily modify the color or > background-color property lighter or darker? Modify the third parameter of a color value given in HSL[A] notation. Relative values based on RGB[A] could only yield redder, bluer or greener colors in a reliable way. I remember relative color names being discussed long ago, e.g. in <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2002May/0201.html>. Those parameters could be retrofit to apply to the inherited color (| lighter| / |darker|, |duller| / |brighter|), but most of the time you probably want to alter a different color than the one used for the same property on the parent (i.e. |currentcolor|). You then arrive at needing (color) constants / variables / macros.
