Is there a way to find a lighter and darker shade of a RGB color programmatically?

Hi All, I have a problem... If a user selects a color and I put it into a variable (as RGB), how can I find a shade that is several shades lighter, and a shade that is several shades darker, also in RGB format? For example, I put 0,255,64 into myVar. (This color a shade of green.)

Seems to me you could add 10% to each of the RGB values by multiplying each by 1.1, then round them up. (A roundUp function can be made by div'ing a value by itself, then adding the mod of a value by itself and conditionally adding 1 if the mod is not 0). That would give you the shade lighter.
