The Noise Playground is a great "set it and forget it" type animation.

The Noise Playground is a great “set it and forget it” type animation. I have experimented with different values, but I still don’t quite have a grasp on how the code works, in relation to what I want to see.

What I would like to know, is how to better control the ‘brightness’. Not the master, but the z axis I believe? @Daniel_Garcia mentioned it awhile back in a comment, but I can’t remember exactly. Right now, I really like the hue control I have with my settings, however there are moments where the overall brightness of the animation is extremely dull, and not pleasing.

As well, it seems that the most common color seen, is based around Red or possibly 0. How could I change the ‘base’ hue you see the most in this example? Thanks for the help people!

I’ll try to share some “noise+palette” code. That pretty much lets you control colors and brightness independent of the underlying data.
