Saturation vs. Chroma — What's the Difference?

The act or process of saturating.

The aspect of color in the Munsell color system by which a sample appears to differ from a gray of the same lightness or brightness and that corresponds to saturation of the perceived color.

The condition of being saturated.

The colorfulness relative to the brightness of a similarly illuminated area

The condition of being full to or beyond satisfaction; satiety.

The aspect of a colour's hue that depends on the amount of white or black in it; saturation

(Physics) A state of a ferromagnetic substance in which an increase in applied magnetic field strength does not produce an increase in magnetization.

(music) A note in a chromatic scale

(Chemistry) The state of a compound or solution that is fully saturated.

Chromatic purity: freedom from dilution with white and hence vividness of hue

(Meteorology) A condition in which air at a specific temperature contains all the water vapor it can hold; 100 percent relative humidity.

Vividness of hue; degree of difference from a gray of the same lightness or brightness. Also called intensity. See Table at color.

Intensive shelling or bombing of a military target to achieve total destruction.

The flooding of a market with all of a commodity that consumers can purchase.

The act of saturating or the process of being saturated

(physics) The condition in which, after a sufficient increase in a causal force, no further increase in the resultant effect is possible; e.g. the state of a ferromagnetic material that cannot be further magnetized

(chemistry) The state of a saturated solution

(chemistry) The state of an organic compound that has no double or triple bonds

(meteorology) The state of the atmosphere when it is saturated with water vapour; 100% humidity

(art) The intensity or vividness of a colour.

(color) Chromatic purity; freedom from dilution with white.

Intense bombing of a military target with the aim of destroying it

The flooding of a market with all of a product that can be sold

(music) An effect on the sound of an electric guitar, used primarily in heavy metal music

(telecommunications) The condition at which a component of the system has reached its maximum traffic-handling capacity, i.e. one erlang per circuit.

(telecommunications) The point at which the output of a linear device, such as a linear amplifier, deviates significantly from being a linear function of the input when the input signal is increased.

The act of saturating, or the state of being saturating; complete penetration or impregnation.

The act, process, or result of saturating a substance, or of combining it to its fullest extent.

Freedom from mixture or dilution with white; purity; - said of colors.

The process of totally saturating something with a substance;

The act of soaking thoroughly with a liquid

A condition in which a quantity no longer responds to some external influence

Chromatic purity: freedom from dilution with white and hence vividness of hue
