Generate colors with JavaScript

Question

I want to add functionality to my application that randomly generates a color scheme based on some color, for example #0080C8. So, when I click a button, it takes the base color and generates a list of colors, each generated with its own parameter, for example, lighten by 20% for one, and darken by 10% for another one. So, what I wonder about, is there a ready-to-use JS library that has such methods like darken, lighten, and so on?

Why not just use HSL colors ? things like darker -20%, or lighter +10% are trivial within it. — c69
