I'm trying to loop a set amount of times gradually decreasing the lightness value of hsla but when I run the loop I get an error $lightness: "96.77419" is not a number for
hsla'`. Can anyone advise me where I'm going wrong with this or how it can be improved?
Code
$iterations: 31;
$base: 100;
$math: $base / $iterations;
li {
background: #919190;
height: 40px;
line-height: 40px;
color: #191919;
text-align: center;
}
@for $i from 1 through $iterations {
.options:nth-of-type(#{$i}) {
background: hsla(60, 1, #{($base - $math)}, 1);
}

What I really want to do is be able to gradually increase the colour to make a shade palette, really want to be able to use this multiple times with multiple different amounts etc so it would be great if you could give me some additional advice to make this.
