Color Theory

Chroma

Die Reinheit oder Intensität einer Farbe; beschreibt, wie lebendig sie im Vergleich zu einem neutralen Grau gleicher Helligkeit erscheint.

Chroma is distinct from saturation, though the two are often confused. Chroma measures colorfulness in absolute terms relative to a reference white, while saturation measures it relative to the color's own brightness. A color with high chroma is vivid and intense, while a color with zero chroma is a pure gray. The Munsell color system was among the first to separate chroma as an independent dimension. In modern color science, CIELAB and OKLCH both use chroma as a key axis, making it essential for perceptually uniform color manipulation.
