🎨 Understanding Color Saturation

Color saturation determines the intensity and purity of a color. Higher saturation means more vibrant colors, while lower saturation creates muted, grayish tones.

🌈 What is Color Saturation?

High Saturation

Colors appear vivid, intense, and pure. Think of bright neon signs or tropical flowers. High saturation draws attention and creates energetic designs.

Low Saturation

Colors appear muted, soft, and grayish. Creates calm, professional, or vintage aesthetics. Useful for backgrounds and subtle accents.
