Currently you may just setup new constant colors:

  AddToFunc SetupDarkerRedColors
  + I Colorset 50 bg rgb:60/00/00, fg contrast # inactive
  + I Colorset 60 bg rgb:a0/40/40, fg contrast # active

It is planned (but not finally) to add TintBg colorset option that makes
this automatically, i.e. make colorset bg lighter, darker, more bluish.
I would wait until the new colorset option names (including the current
Tint that works on pixmaps) are finalized.

Regards,
Mikhael.
