Visual Saturation
Visual Saturation is the amount of color intensity in an image or design, and in graphic effect, it helps guide attention and set mood. Designers use visual saturation to make some parts of a design stand out more by making colors stronger or more vivid. High saturation can make graphics look lively and energetic, while lower saturation can create a calm or soft look. When working with digital screens, changing the saturation can help reduce eye strain or make information easier to see. Adjusting saturation is a quick way to change the feeling of a graphic without changing shapes or layout, and it works well with other effects like contrast and brightness.
