Hey all!
How can i find (or generate or whatever...) the "new" Hex code of a solid color (ie. #141F39) that is set to an intensity of lets say 50%? So that i can use that lighter hue as a solid color with no shine through in the end. Is there a short cut to find that new Hex code instead of fiddling around with color settings to get a similiar color?
I already tried it by adjusting the values of HSB & RGB but that is not really giving exact results..
Thanks!
Alternatively, you could pick a tint from the color guide panel or drag the RGB sliders while holding down the Cmd (or Ctrl) key.

Create a new Global color swatch of your hex color and choose a percentage in the color panel.

Thanks Ton for the quick response! That gets close to what I'm looking for but still not really the same result (marked red).
Any other ideas?

Where did you find that?

Well I'm working on a project and I set some colors for later use. Now I need that 50% hue (as exactly as possible) solid. The red-marked hue is the result I got from trying out your initial advice but as you may see the new color itself is slightly warmer than the 50% intensity-blue on the right...

WOW! Didn't know that about the Cmd Key! That is still a little bit of fiddling but It works quite fine for now!
Thanks a Ton, Ton! 😉

Good to hear that helped.

UPDATE: Ton gave me a pretty good answer! Working the RGB while holding down Cmd (Ctrl) gave me that result:
If anyone knows how to directly convert a lower intensity color to a solid new one, feel free to add some more insights!

This is how it's done in Illustrator https://youtu.be/ZGYtDtgwYHc
