Saturation
Saturation – a) The property of color which relates to the amount of white light in the color. Highly saturated colors are vivid, while less saturated colors appear pastel. For example, red is highly saturated while pink is the same hue but much less saturated. b) In signal terms, saturation is determined by the ratio between luminance level and chrominance amplitude. It should be noted that a vectorscope does not display saturation: the length of the vectors represents chrominance amplitude. In order to verify that the saturation of the colors in a color bar signal is correct, you must check luminance amplitudes with a waveform monitor in addition to observing the vectors. c) The amount of gray, as opposed to hue, in a color. d) Limiting a value that exceeds a defined range by setting its value to the maximum or minimum of the range as appropriate. See Hue.
