VIBRANCY The quality or state of being vibrant or pulsating with life:

Since Lilly Pulitzer founded her fashion house in 1959, her name has become synonymous with an aesthetic of cheerful ease and recreation. She designed play clothes for adults and children in vibrant colors and patterns that evoked tropical destinations and appealed to Pulitzer's social set in Palm Beach, Florida. Suzie Zuzek, an artist for Key West Hand Print Fabrics, designed Pulitzer's most dazzling prints including this one titled "Ponchita’s Petunias." Pulitzer tempered the palette of vivid orange, yellow, and pink florals with delicate white crochet.
