Wrote this after my 2-month break from the internet.

Figured out a way to shorten the Color object script without a hideous string parameter...here's a simplified version of that very code,

Description: Darkens/brightens the hex code you provide.

Syntax: convertHex(string, condition);

Example: convertHex("0099CC", x + 2);

The first parameter of the function takes the hexcode as a string. The second part uses the variable x to represent the color code as it's value is subtracted or added by any number. In this case we are increasing it's brightness by "2". The result will be: 22BBEE

var validHex = "0123456789ABCDEF", x = 0;
function convertHex() {
   var newHex = "", i = 0, x = 0;
   while(i < arguments[0].length) {
      var returnItem = validHex.charAt(validHex.indexOf(arguments[0].charAt(i ++)) + arguments[1]);
      newHex += returnItem ? returnItem : 0 + arguments[1] < 0 ? 0 : "F";
   }
   return newHex;
}
