Hi Chris, I haven't done much new work with Sass lately but I do remember using the math arithmetic (probably from before the functions were added). I'll probably have some deprecation warnings to take care of... Not a big deal I guess, but figuring out the right percentages to avoid colour shifts might be a bugger.
The arithmetic operators like (#ccc - #333) produce a more predictable output (#999) than lighten() with a percentage. Generally it shouldn't matter what the final hex looks like as long as the actual colour looks right, but I'm wondering if there's still some value in using the arithmetic operators to produce absolute colour steps (e.g. "web- safe" colours).
