Kylläisyysarvot

Kylläisyysarvot refers to saturation values, a concept primarily used in color theory and imaging. It describes the intensity or purity of a hue. A fully saturated color is vivid and appears as its pure spectral color, while a desaturated color appears duller, closer to gray.

In color models like HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) or HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value), saturation is one of the primary components used to define a color. It is typically represented as a percentage or a value between 0 and 1. A saturation of 0% or 0 means the color is completely unsaturated, resulting in a shade of gray. As the saturation increases towards 100% or 1, the color becomes more vibrant and pure.

The perception of saturation can be influenced by factors such as surrounding colors, lighting conditions, and individual differences in color vision. In digital imaging, saturation values are crucial for image editing software, allowing users to adjust the vividness of colors. Increasing saturation can make an image appear more lively, while decreasing it can create a softer or more muted effect. In scientific contexts, such as spectrophotometry, saturation can be a quantifiable measure of color purity.
