        This property uses the color (<a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.Bevel.Color.html#GrapeCity_Win_Spread_InputMan_CellType_Bevel_Color">Color</a> property)
        of the object to calculate the shaded color for the bevel in percentages.	
      </p>
<p>
        If set to 0, the same color as the color object is used. When a positive value is set, 
        a brighter color is used, and when a negative value is set, a color darker than the color
        is used. 
      </p>
