Saturation is the amount of white in a color. The higher
the saturation, the less white is present in the color. It is
saturation that distinguishes pink from burgundy. Both
may be considered red, but pink has a higher level of
white, and is therefore less saturated than burgundy.
Figure 10-4. Saturation Scale
Saturation can be set from 0 to 255. The value is shown
on the Prompts Monitor. A color with a saturation value
of
0 is technically no longer a color - it is pure white. A
color with a saturation level of
255 contains no white at
all.
