I'd look in the documentation of whatever it is you're trying to change 
the color of.  It should be explained there how to set and change colors.

You're going to end up with something that could look like:

def change_color_to(new_color):
     color_of_thing = new_color

def modify_color_of_thing(by_n_pct):
     color_of_thing = old_color_of_thing * by_n_pct

where the docs of the thing you're changing provide the names and 
handling of modifying the color.

HTH,

Emile
