Re: Color tweaking functions

Your examples are manipulating technical parameters.  I would expect
designers to be interested in subjective behaviour, and therefore want to
specify the literal values that are subjectively right, not some
algorithmic approximation.

The fact that color tweaking functions exist in every preprocessor I can
think of indicates that relative values are of interest to designers.
Colors are chosen by eye after all.


The over the wire cost of these examples would be higher than sending the
literal, i.e. a preprocessor would be better.

A few extra bytes in a few places.
