"Eye strain" / "Saturated" Tag; accessibility tag

Having the chromatic aberration tag has been useful as a deterrent for eye-strain, and as a means of better accessibility overall.

I cannot find, however, a tag for images/artworks where the image has overwhelming saturated bright colors that could strain the eyes.

I personally find it most commonly in over-saturated backgrounds of bright colors, especially red backgrounds.

Here are some examples of images I'm alluding to:
post #7898651
post #7896078
post #7891593
post #7104661

However, given the ambiguity and subjectiveness of the term 'eye strain' (and to avoid conflation with depictions of sore/squinting eyes), I wondered if the saturated tag would be more appropriate, given that colors with high saturation are concurrent with eye strain.

The wiki is null -- it does not have a descriptor, so I wanted to hear other's thoughts on this description:

Images that are dominated by color(s) that are, or near, 100% saturated.
For images with low saturation, see muted color.

All the best.

ngl I never really considered chromatic aberration an accessibility tag (and there probably shouldn't be any tags like that, that's not what tagging is for), but I guess it does double as one pretty well.

I think the concept you're describing is pretty "taggable" so to say, but saturated sounds like a pretty meh name, unlike muted color the meaning isn't immediately obvious. A simple fix would be just calling it saturated color, maybe other people have better ideas.

We have the chromatic aberration abuse blacklist pool #14571 for eyestain posts of that type, maybe a sister pool for saturation could be helpful?

High contrast should also be considered

oh, i made a favgroup about this a while back! i had the intention of creating a similar thread to this but i wasnt sure how to word it. i think its a little subjective ... as in different peoples eyes are offended by different things. for example, some things in my favgroup (favgroup #23055) no longer affect me the same way they did when i added it

so far neon palette has been used a makeshift eyestrain tag. it would be great if we could move some of the posts out of that tag to keep it more consistent with its wiki.

i mean... we have epilepsy warning

As someone who can't bear to look at "eyestrain" palettes for more than two minutes, I am in favor of a tag for the concept being created. I don't think "saturated" is a good tag name though, as that could end up being used as a colorful duplicate or something. Not sure if "eyestrain" is a good tag name for it though.

Are you guys talking about high_contrast?

No. We're talking about colors so bright they can hurt some people's eyes (often people with sensory issues). While images within high contrast do often fall under that, they just as often do not, making the tag a poor substitute for people with these issues.

How do you define "too bright" in an objective way?
