Chrominance

Chrominance is the colour portion of a video signal. Often abbreviated to Chroma.

Chrominance is separate to the other colour portion of a video signal - luminance (brightness).

Chrominance tells the video display what colours to use and how much saturation (amount of pure colour) to use, while luminance gives the colours depth and contrast by adjusting the darkness and brightness of the image.
