To reduce saturation from 75% to 20% it was helpful to use
the function `color-hsv-to-rgb' that I found in the list archives.
There are several proposed versions:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-11/msg00897.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-02/msg00738.html
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=14074
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-01/msg01272.html

It seems that the latest produces the most exact results.

I wounder why this useful function still is not installed
in color.el?
