Excellent. Simple and clean and uncluttered. Nice.

Thanks!

Thank you very much, that was looking for a long time

This was really handy for me in developing an automatic palette generator. I made a couple of modifications to your code, such as reversing the $f and $g anonymous functions of mix so that, for example if you're shading, the weight is the amount of shade (eg 0.2 is 20% shade), as well as condensing $t declarations and return lines in the shade, tone and tint functions into ternary operators. I made a fork in case you're interested. Thanks so much!
