Saturated
Refers to how vivid and intense a colour is. These are often bright colours. Colours with poor saturation often like dull or faded. Colours with a 0 saturation have not got any colour and are greyscale shades. This can give a vibrant and lively feel to a photo.
Muted
Muted colours are often quite faded appearing. Like the opposite of saturated colours. This can make a picture look more soft and timid.
Analogous
These are colours that are placed next to each other on the colour wheel. For example, green and blue. Some pictures focus on using analogous colours.
The Psychology of Colour
Certain colours have very well known/stereotypical emotions and feelings that are directly related to the colour. This is because when we see this colour in pictures, it makes the viewer feel and think a certain way. Also this is different for every colour. The most common examples are:
Red - Love and passion, and on the other hand also anger and frustration
Blue - Sadness, but also it can be quite a tranquil and calming colour as it is quite cooling
Yellow - Happiness and cheer, also freshness and energy
Green - Balance and natural (eco-friendly), jealousy and envy
Purple - Royalties and luxury, also mysteriousness and creativity
Orange - Health, happiness and youthfulness
