If you add black to a color, you will darken it. If you add white to a color you will lighten it. How dark/light you want the color to be depends on the amount of black or white you mix in. But be careful of using too much black. It can leave you with a muddy tone instead of a nice color. If you have to darken more than a shade, it would be better to use the color's opposite on the color wheel. White should be no problem.
