Creates a new Color that is a brighter version of this Color.

  Creates a new Color that is a brighter version of this Color.

This method applies an arbitrary scale factor to each of the three RGB components of this Color to create a brighter version of this Color. Although brighter and darker are inverse operations, the results of a series of invocations of these two methods might be inconsistent because of rounding errors.
Returns: a new Color object that is a brighter version of this Color.

The same PaintContext is returned, regardless of
whether or not r, r2d,
xform, or hints are null.
Returns: a PaintContext that is used to generate a solid color pattern.
Parameters:
- cm - the specified ColorModel
