It's actually pretty easy in Fireworks. Click on the sqare next to the paint bucket tool. Type your hex value in the little input in the pop up color picker. Hit return. Click on the square again. See the little rainbow circle (sys color picker)? Click it. There's a vertical slider bar. Move it. It'll change the luminosity without affecting hue and saturation. You can also manually alter the saturation there.
