Chromaticity is the quality of a color as determined by its "purity" and dominant wavelength.


"Purity" in this context is roughly equivalent to the term "saturation" in the HSV color model. The dominant wavelength is commonly thought of as equivalent to the property "hue" as used in general color theory and in specific color models such as HSV or HSL.
