The intensity of colors can be subsequently modified using the Strength Node.

This Node can be used to modify the brightness of a color value or a texture. The Strength setting controls the brightness of colors within a range of 0% (black) and 100% (original color). Overbright colors are attainable by moving the Strength beyond 100%
