| | Definition: | | The color portion of a video signal separate from the luminance (or brightness) component, representing the saturation and hue (tint) at a particular point of the image. Black, gray and white have no chrominance, but any colored signal has both chrominance and luminance. The higher the chrominance level, the stronger the color (e.g., a strong signal produces red, and a weak signal, pink). |
