Seaborn.desaturate() method

---

---

The Seaborn.desaturate() method is used to de saturate a color by some percentage and then this de saturated color is returned.

What is desaturation? Desaturation of a color is a process of making a color more muted by adding pigments of various colors, quite commonly black or white. These newly muted colors appear close to the greyscale and less vivid than saturated colors.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the seaborn.desaturate() method −

seaborn.desaturate(color,prop)

Parameters

The parameters of this seaborn.saturate() method are given below.

Return Value

The return value of this method is an RGB-tuple which contains the de-saturated color of the color passed.

Example 1

Now we will see how the method works by passing a color to it.

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
titanic=sns.load_dataset("titanic")
titanic.head()
sns.saturate("pink"",0.9)
plt.show()

Output

The output produced is as follows. An rgb tuple of the color after desaturation is given as output.

(0.9876470588235293, 0.7652941176470589, 0.8041176470588234)

Example 2

In this example we will de saturate another color and obtain the saturated color. We can use the palplot() method to visualize the RGB tuples sent by the saturate method.

The following line of code can be used to do so −

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
titanic=sns.load_dataset("titanic")
titanic.head()
sns.palplot(sns.desaturate("blue",0.5))
plt.show()

Output

The output is as follows,

Example 3

We will use the palplot() method to visualize a color saturated using the saturate method. The below line of code can be used to do so.

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
titanic=sns.load_dataset("titanic")
titanic.head()
sns.palplot(sns.desaturate("yellow",0.5))
plt.show()

Output

The output is as follows −
