From 'chromatic' + '-ics' (suffix for fields of study). Established as a distinct discipline in 17th-century music theory; extended to color science in the 19th century.
Chromatics as a science unites music and visual art under one principle: studying how tones, notes, or wavelengths create emotional and aesthetic effects through subtle variations and contrasts.
