Basically we'd have to find some arbitrary composition of operators that took one color to another. I agree. I often find myself converting an amount of color to percent in my > head.

If we want an absolute lightness operator, I think adjust-lightness() would be preferable. - Nathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Haml" group.
