saturations

Full color strengths

Saturations is the plural of saturation, the state of being thoroughly soaked or filled to capacity.

In color theory, saturation describes intensity or vividness—how pure a hue appears versus how washed out or gray: The designer adjusted the saturations across the palette.

In chemistry, it refers to the point at which a solution can dissolve no more of a substance.
