hypersaturated

Beyond full saturation

Hypersaturated describes something pushed beyond normal saturation—containing more of a substance than would typically dissolve, or displaying colors more vivid than natural.

In photography and design, hypersaturated images have been digitally enhanced to make colors unnaturally intense: The hypersaturated Instagram filter made the sunset look radioactive.

In chemistry, a hypersaturated solution holds more dissolved material than equilibrium would allow.
