vivid hues
Bold, bright shades
Vivid hues are colors that are bright, intense, and saturated—the opposite of muted or washed-out tones.
The phrase appears frequently in descriptions of art, nature, and design: The sunset displayed vivid hues of orange and crimson.
Vivid suggests colors so striking they seem almost to vibrate or leap forward.
