Color functions like in LESS

Feature Suggestions
1

Hi everyone! I have one proposition for declarative markup language UX. What you think about color functions like in Less? Such as lighten(), darken(), saturate(), desaturate(), fadein(), fadeout(), fade() spin() and mix(). So what if we transfer this functionality to Fuse like this:

Declarate global color constants

<float4 ux:Global="FillColor"  ux:Value="rgba(0.5, 0,   0.25, 0.5)"/>
<float4 ux:Global="GreenColor" ux:Value="hsla(120, 0.5, 0.5,  1.0)"/>

Assignment global colors via color transformers

<Rectangle Color="Darken(FillColor, 0.2)"/>
<Rectangle Color="Lerp(GreenColor, FillColor, 0.5)"/>

Good suggestions, added them to the list.

We have a plan for how to make UX values more expressive, it probably won’t look exactly like this but support similar features.

This would be really sweet! I would really like a more CSS/SCSS/LESS-like styling experience.
