Tests for recipes/color

A series of functions/mixins which assist in dynamic color manipulation. Created by David Kaneda.

By default, Sass comes with a lightness() function, which returns the expected value from the HSLa system of colors. To properly judge readability, though, we have to look at perceived brightness. This class adds a brightness() function to Sass, as well as luminosity() so we can easily generate a readable text color from the background.

The sample below shows the lightness value (all are the same), but will show the brightness value as you mouse over the examples.
