Find Hex Code of solid color set to 50% intensity

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.

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

I think this is what you are looking for

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!

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?
