I'm looking for a nice alithogram to darken and lighten a color by a certain ammount.

Maybe you mean algorithm? :-) Yep. My ability to spell decreases 5% every 15 minutes after 12AM.

To lighten, increase RGB values by 10% each. To darken, decrease RGB values by 10% each. Maybe replace 10 with whatever the "certain amount" is. But what do I do with something like 40,40,255? What happens to the 255?

Is that all you're wanting to do? Yup.
