Allow to set Shades, similar to how Tints work now
I'd like to see a Shade option added to global swatches. Currently, we have tint, which adds varying levels of white to the color until you reach 100% white. Shade would act in the opposite direction, adding varying levels of black until you reached 100% black.
I would envision this working by letting users click the "T" next to the slider in the color palette and having it switch to an "S", with the gradient changing from white on the left to black.
This would be helpful because I often find myself needing not only lighter hues to work with a color palette but darker ones as well. I rely on creating al new colors or multiplying a black shape on top of the current color one. This does add a layer of complexity to shape selection and color changes with global colors. A global shaded color would update as would any global tinted color.

It would be even better if the Tint and Shade functions were available to plugins in the SDK as well.
