[edit] merge with saturation?
This should really be merged into Saturation: Colour theory, this would end a stub, and join it to its "father" article. It would be better if it was a "sub-chapter" to Saturation: Colour theory.
I'm not sure I agree. I'd like to include a bit about the meaning of chromaticity in accelerator physics (specifically in storage rings), and that wouldn't fit into Saturation: Colour theory at all. Unless a separate page was created... SteveM 09:06, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
In regard to color theory this page is erroneous. The term Chromaticity encompasses both saturation and hue as a single concept, not purity as the article describes. An illuminant or color has both Chromaticity and Luminance. The chromaticity component (x,y) describes a normalized tristimulus ratio (X,Y,Z.)
I do not think this page should be moved. I think a stub should be placed here and I would be willing to work on the color portion of this page. Various Chormaticity diagrams could all be located and explained on this page.
CIE 1931 x,y - CIE 1976 ū,v - Should both be described and depicted on this page.
