Setting Color Opacity?

[mwmartz]

Is there some way to change the opacity for a color? For example, if you have background gradient colors that you've selected in the skin editor, and you like those colors, but they're just a little too dark, is there some way to decrease the opacity by say 15 percent or whatever looks best?

Thanks,
mwm

I think there's a way to do it in CSS, but I don't think it's fully supported in all browsers. A site I like is http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html. In that site, put the hex value of your current color and click Set Hex. It shows you complimentary colors, but there's also an option to lighten or darken the color, so keep lightening it until you get the color you want.
