desaturations
Draining chromatic intensity
Desaturations are instances of color becoming less vivid or intense—moving toward gray.
In image editing and photography, desaturation removes chromatic intensity: The desaturations in the shadows give the photo a moody feel.
In medicine, desaturations refer to drops in blood oxygen levels, particularly dangerous in patients with respiratory conditions: The monitor alarmed during the patient's overnight desaturations.
