szaturáció

Szaturáció is a term used in various fields, most commonly in color theory and chemistry, to describe the intensity or purity of a hue. In the context of color, saturation refers to the vividness of a color. A highly saturated color is pure and intense, while a desaturated color is closer to gray. For example, a bright red is highly saturated, whereas a muted or dusty red is less saturated. Saturation can be adjusted by mixing a color with its complementary color or with white, black, or gray.

In chemistry, saturation refers to the point at which a solution can no longer dissolve any more solute at a given temperature and pressure. Once a solution reaches saturation, any additional solute added will not dissolve and will typically settle at the bottom. This state is in contrast to unsaturated solutions, which can still dissolve more solute, and supersaturated solutions, which temporarily hold more solute than they normally could. The concept of saturation is crucial in understanding solubility and chemical equilibrium.
