Use stylus's CLI for easy color computations. Stylus CLI is faster than Sass and has shorter syntax for color computations.
$ npm i -g stylus
$ stylus -i
Here's lighten and hue shift:
> #aaa + 10%
=> #b2b2b2
> #ff0 - 10deg
=> #ffd500
Not quite as elegant, but it can be useful.
echo "*{a: #ff0 - 10deg}" | stylus -p
* { a: #ffd500; }
If you need Sass for some reason, it also takes -i
.
$ gem install sass
$ sass -i
>> darken(red, 10%)
#cc0000
