cromias, differences in colour

Tones are the amount of light in a color, for which we have a clear cadmium yellow and a dark yellow.
Saturation is the amount of pigment in a color
and cromia is the difference between colors.
The right "relationship" between these 3 characteristics (Tone, saturatio and cromia) give us the masterpiece!
