One way to get a darker colour is to call the ColorFade function.

Let's take the following main color: RGBA(204, 231, 246, 1)

To obtain a darker shade, you would call the following:

ColorFade(RGBA(204, 231, 246, 1), -.05 )

The second argument (set to -0.5 above) dictates the darkness. You can set this between 0 and -1. A value of -1 will produce a shade that's completely black.

With regards to what you've said here, can you clarify how you've defined your source colour?

>>i would like to manipulate the RGB(A) values

Can I please also request that you punctuate your words into sentences because it's difficult for me to understand what you're trying to say in your post.
