Hi guys,

Can someone please explain what is the meaning of add a punch?

I read it in a paragraph:

  1. Use colorful curtains to add a punch of contrast to your bedroom, or go with an interesting pattern to liven up the space. On the other hand, sheer curtains add softness and femininity to a room.
  2. By adding sugar in one of its many different forms, it allows the condiment company to add a punch of flavor with very little money".


Thank you

Yueehs

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

It's closest to meaning 3 here. It means that the colour is vibrant and you can't miss it. It's a powerful sight amid a sea of a less interesting colour.
