Saturation Test3 is an extremely lightweight and highly configurable shader pack that uses OpenGL version #120 whereas most others use #150 or higher making it simpler and more optimized.
Saturation Test3 currently includes the 7 presets listed below:
- Black and White: Makes the game black and white, obviously.
- Horror: Mutes the colors significantly, creating a dangerous atmosphere.
- Less Dopamine: Slightly desaturates the game for specific situations—such as reducing screen time—since the brain is naturally less stimulated by a limited color palette.
- Subtle: Slightly more vibrant than the default.
- Balanced: Even more vibrant, with balanced colors.
- Exaggerated: Pushes the saturation a bit, but remains bearable.
- Max Dopamine: If you play with this preset, you'd better watch out.
