Polish term

soczyste (kolory/odcienie)

Polish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
The context is fashion design, but it's really a question of finding a general word for.... well, juicy, highly saturated colours. Not necessarily bright, though there is an element of that.

'highly saturated' is the descriptive equivalent of the Polish 'soczysty' but I'd rather have a single, and more vivid solution.

vivid is indeed a possibility, but maybe other options?

Discussion

These colors perfectly describe our lady colleagues here on Polish proz. We learn much more than words from them. Let me wish each and every one of them a most wonderful International Women's Day and express our appreciation for what they bring in as friends and colleagues.
