"lightening" a color

[Scott Rossi]

Here's a tint function from way back.  pRGB is an RGB triplet, pValue is a
decimal percent value for the desired tint of the color.

function colorTint pRGB, pValue
   -- pRGB is RGB triplet
   -- pValue is between 0 and 1
   put pRGB into theTint
   repeat with N = 1 to 3
      put item N of pRGB into theColorItem
      put round ((1- pValue) * theColorItem + (pValue * 255)) into item N
of theTint
   end repeat
   return theTint
end colorTint
