The quality of color in terms of its purity or saturation; the intensity and vividness of a color.
From Greek 'χρῶμα' (chroma) meaning 'color' or 'skin.' Used in ancient texts to describe colors and complexions, adopted into modern scientific vocabulary for color analysis and perception.
In color science, chroma is what makes a color feel 'pop'—a highlighter's chroma is high, while a muted grey has low chroma, which is why artists obsess over it for visual impact.
