Chroma: is the purity of a color (a high chroma has no added black, white or gray).
Saturation: refers to how strong or weak a color is (high saturation being strong).
Isn't that a roundabout way of saying Chroma and Saturation are synonymous? (and for that matter, "strength"?)
I also disagree that pastels can be made by mixing with black....you get a pastel by mixing with white, only. Mixing with black you get a shade, mixing with gray you get a desaturated color (for instance, olive green). But for a pastel, it has to be mixed with white or at the very least, a very light gray.
Colorfulness, chroma, and saturation are related but distinct concepts referring to the perceived intensity of a specific color. [...] Chroma is the colorfulness relative to the brightness of another color that appears white under similar viewing conditions. Saturation is the colorfulness of a color relative to its own brightness.
