I suggest that "bright" be removed as a keyword for {carmi} so that with
colors it refers only to saturation. Then {no'e carmi} would be
"unsaturated" or "pastel". {to'e manku} is inconvenient
but is better semantically for "bright". {blabi} is a particular
color (zero saturation maximum brightness), and it's sloppy to use
it to mean "low saturation".

I agree with the first suggestion.
I also agree that 'blabi' is poor for 'low saturation' - if
it's used for shades, it should mean high brightness.
I would suggest that
carmi - milxe (or NAhE carmi) be used for saturation, and
gusni/blabi - manku by used for brightness.
