How chroma and saturation are different #colortheory #art

I don't grasp all this information immediately, but boy do I have fun listening. Thank you for sharing! 😊

i have a question. lets say we tilted further and further away from grey, almost drawing a semi circle around, would that lead us to black? and is black a highly saturated colour? google has always given me mixed answers haha. i guess my question is actually, when/where do we stop tilting away from white? i hope these questions make sense

Looks like saturation is how much the paint stains white paper. Chroma is how much color in the paint. You will get less chroma if you add white, gray or black paint, and in special case if you add paint that cancel original color.

I still don't get it. I cannot get my head around the difference between saturation and chroma. So if I take blue and add white it's going to get lighter, If I take black it will get darker. But eith both black and white the colour becomes more muted and less saturated. However if I add some yellow it begins to become more like the middle right colour. Like a cyan? So maximum saturation of a colour is without any addition of white or black? While chroma refers to the pure form of the colour. So in effect saturation is to do with how much light is being absorbed and reflected by the subject. But chroma is the local color of the subject. I am still very confused :(

I'm always learning something new!

Yeah but what defines “brightness/lightness”? I fully understand this concept, but I don’t find it easy to understand (or explain) because of that factor.

Very helpful breakdown. Personally i think the " tip away from white is a bit confusing but that might just be me" overall i think this is the clearest Ive heard on the distinction Thank you !

That’s so interesting in how colors are so vast!

I get this intuitively but I wouldn’t really know how to explain it specifically 😅

I had to watch this 3x 🤪. Thank you!

I think that, when you say "saturation increases as you tip away from white" is partially true but a bit missleading, because from my understanding saturation isolines are simmetrical V shaped lines connecting the black and white corners of the triangular section of the color space (since you are using a double conical colour space). If this is true, a more correct sentence would be "saturation increases as you tip away from white or black but only up to the middle line perpendicular to the white-black line". I'm sure there would be a better way to phrase that but I couldn't find any, and I'm sure you phrased it as you did to simplify the concept as much as possible :). BTW I learned a lot from your videos and I love your content! Keep it up!

Just what I was looking for! Concise and helpful.

Thank you, i stuck at understand these for 1 year ago.

Thanks for your valuable information. I think you can make a video about hue value, chroma, saturation. I think that will be more helpful for us. Again Thanks

🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

I need MORE videos like this

is chroma like saturation but when we turn it into grayscale same chroma will have the same value unlike saturation where same saturation may have different value

Mind blown, world upended.

I don't know if I right but in raster software what he mean about chroma is saturation and saturation is luminance. If we slide to left in saturation bar at HSL bar, slide to left the color is going to white. Luminance if we slide to left it's going to black color. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks, Mr Colour Need 🙂👋🏼
