oversaturated
Beyond absorption capacity
Oversaturated describes something filled beyond capacity or exposed to excess.
A market becomes oversaturated when supply overwhelms demand: The streaming landscape is oversaturated with true crime content.
In photography and design, oversaturated colors are unnaturally vivid or intense, pushed past realistic levels.
The prefix over- emphasizes that the saturation has gone too far.
