Returns the string value for the lightened color in hsl format.

• Use String.prototype.match() to get an array of 3 string with the numeric values.
• Use Array.prototype.map() in combination with Number to convert them into an array of numeric values.
• Clamp new lightness within the hsl valid range between 0 and 100.
• Form a valid hsl color string.

const lighten = (amount, hslStr) => {
  const [hue, saturation, lightness] = hslStr.match(/\d+/g).map(Number);

  const newLightness = Math.max(
    0,
    Math.min(100, lightness + parseFloat(amount))
  );

  return `hsl(${hue}, ${saturation}%, ${newLightness}%)`;
};

lighten(10, "hsl(330, 50%, 50%)"); // 'hsl(330, 50%, 60%)'
