Say you have any color as a CRGB object.
CRGB mycolor = CRGB(255,255,255);
What’s the appropriate way to dim that?
FYI, setBrightness isn’t an option. I want to dim an area, not the whole strip.

Sometimes modulus works.
Other times I get compile errors.

CRGB mycolor = CRGB(255,255,255);
myColor = myColor%64; //for .25 brightness

color %= 64;

…or…

color.nscale8_video( 64 );

Thanks @Mark_Kriegsman , I knew it was likely something simple.
On a side note, I’ll have something cool to show off in a day or two!
