bright palette
Saturated color range
A bright palette is a range of vivid, saturated colors—the opposite of muted or earthy tones.
The term comes from visual art, where a palette is literally the board on which painters mix colors, but extends to any color scheme: The designer chose a bright palette of coral, turquoise, and yellow.
Interior decorators, fashion designers, and digital artists all speak of working with bright palettes when they want colors that pop rather than recede.
