sass lighten equivalent in c#
I am using SASS in a project and use the "lighten" and "darken" functions in the scss file.
I need to dynamically create a stylesheet (a small subset actually) that uses a different starting colour and then produces the necessary "lighten" and "darken" colours.
The starting colour will be set by a user in the website CMS so I cannot use SASS to generate the css file.
I have tried various methods in C# to recreate the "lighten" and "darken" functions but I can't get the same results as produced by SASS.
For example, for a starting colour of #c640db, SASS gives "lighten(#c640db, 10%)" as #d36be3.
I have tried adjusting the luminance, also the RGB values and neither methods get me the same result as above.
Does anyone know exactly what the SASS function does and/or how to recreate it in C#?

I didn't ask how to recreate SASS in C# - I want to know how the Lighten and Darken functions work (i.e. specifically how do they adjust colour values) so that I can do the same thing and get the same result in C#
the functions have a pretty big library of colors and from what I was reading a pretty big math algorythim that was written in Ruby that will lighten and darken based of color and the algor will lighten or darken the shades from it color likbrary
