Color vibrancy

Color reproduction in a frame has several factors into play.

First is the quality of light, if it is a natural source, climate and air pollution plays important role. Highly polluted air brings down color reproduction.. If we have observed after a brief rainfall when sun light breaks in we can clearly see the level of color clarity just by our naked eye.

When it comes to artificial light CRI value color rendering index is crucial.

CRI value is denoted by a scale of number O-100.

Any light beyond 90 said to produce good color rendition.

Mercy vapour, sodium vapor and house hold LED lights have very poor CRI value below 70.

Color reproduction affects by quality of costume material, background also.

When it comes to color there is a marginal difference in understanding Saturation vs Vibrancy.

Saturation vs Vibrance.. . They both strengthen the intensity of the color in your image, however; they both do so differently. Saturation intensifies all the colors in your images. Vibrance is more specific and its effect is focused on the mid-tones of an image.

the difference between vibrance and saturation in Photoshop and Lightroom. Both have the same fundamental purpose: to increase or decrease the intensity of colors in an image. However, on one hand, saturation works by simply increasing the intensity of every color at the same time. On the other hand, vibrance does not apply the same level of adjustment to each color, instead applying a larger change to more muted colors. It also tries to protect skin tones and stop posterization (this happens when colors are maxed out, creating areas with blockiness or bands instead of even transitions). In this sense, vibrance is like a smarter version of saturation.
