Tip 4: Use Saturation Mindfully
Saturated colors are so energetic that they can steal the spotlight if used in the wrong place. Use saturation in important places and moments when you need a character or story point to pop. Rely on it too often and the eye will tire out. In other words, use restraint with saturated colors and save them for when they will help focus the eye and move the story.
