title: Differences between Android Palette colors
body: <p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
  
  <p>To get a better feel for the Android Palette class, I decided to make a simple app to test some of its features - if you are interested, you can find the app on the Play Store: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tonyw.sampleapps.palettecolorextraction" rel="noreferrer">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tonyw.sampleapps.palettecolorextraction</a>. Basically it just has images and the colors that the Palette class extracts (mentioned below), and you can add your own images to test as well. You can find my source code on Github: <a href="https://github.com/tony-w/PaletteColorExtraction" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/tony-w/PaletteColorExtraction</a></p>

  <p>Can someone describe the differences between the colors that can be extracted from a Bitmap using <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/graphics/Palette.html" rel="noreferrer">Android's Palette class</a>?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Vibrant</li>
  <li>Vibrant Dark</li>
  <li>Vibrant Light</li>
  <li>Muted</li>
  <li>Muted Dark</li>
  <li>Muted Light</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Is it just that the muted colors are duller than vibrant colors? Are dark and light supposed to better match Lollipop's dark and light material design themes, respectively?</p>
