The property of a color that makes it appear saturated, or strongly colored Black, white, and gray have no chroma A red tomato is high in chroma Pastel colors are low in chroma This attribute of color is used in the LCH (Lightness, Chroma, Hue) color model
{i} purity of color (without shades of gray or white); color saturation or intensity
(1) intensity or strength of a color; (2) the extent to which the color is diluted by white light; (3) its saturation or degree of departure from black and white; (4) hue or color information
This is synonymous with intensity or purity These terms are used to differentiate pure, intense colors from those that are grayed or neutralized Poppy red is a higher chroma (brighter) color than brick red
Attribute of color used in the Munsell color system to indicate the degree of departure from a gray of the same value Correlates with the dimension of saturation
The relative purity, strength or saturation of a colour It is directly related to the dominance of the determining wavelength of light
The strength of a particular color by which we can disttinguish a strong color from a weak one
(1) (n ) A signal that conveys color independent of luminance (2) (n ) An aspect of color that indicates hue and saturation
It describes the horizontal spread between a hue of the same scale value as neutral grey Chroma allows us to describe a colour as saturated or unsaturated, or as bright or grey-tinted Adding grey makes the hue less saturated or more unsaturated A hue can also be modified with the addition of some of its complementary colour
The attribute of visual perception in accordance with which an area appears saturated with a particular color or hue Example: a red apple is high in chroma; pastel colors are low in chroma; black, white and gray have no chroma (this attribute of color is used in the color model L*C*H - Lightness, Chroma, Hue); also referred to as Saturation
The term used to describe the saturation, purity, or intensity of colour A scale of chroma ranges from neutral grey to pure hue, without changing value (See hue and value)
The quality of a color that is the combination of hue and brightness In the Munsell system of color notation, chroma indicates the purity of a color as measured along an axis; the farther from the axis, the purer the color See also saturation
the dimension of color that identifies the colorfulness or amount of identifiable hue in a color Eg Red on a fire engine is highly chromatic All gray colors are non-chromatic or "achromatic"
The color of an image element (pixel) Chroma is made up of saturation + hue values, but separate from the luminance value
