Vivid

Vivid is an English adjective and a proper noun used in various contexts. As an adjective, it describes something that is intensely bright, distinct, or lifelike, often with vivid color or detail. The word derives from Latin vividus meaning lively or full of life and is commonly applied to imagery, memories, and descriptions to convey immediacy or intensity. In art, photography, and design, vivid colors and contrasts create strong visual impact. In writing and speech, a vivid description or memory aims to be clear and memorable. The term is widely used across disciplines and remains a flexible descriptor in both formal and casual language.

Vivid is also used as a brand name or part of product lines. Notable uses include Vivid
