What does saturation mean digital design

In digital design, saturation refers to the intensity or purity of a color. It determines how vibrant or muted a color appears. A fully saturated color is vibrant and pure, while a desaturated color appears more muted or dull. Saturation is often represented as a percentage, where 0% saturation represents grayscale or black-and-white and 100% saturation represents the fullest intensity of a color.
