Between red and pink, which color has a greater chroma?

  1. Red

  2. Pink

  3. Both are equal

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Red

Chroma refers to the intensity or purity of a color, indicating how vibrant or saturated it appears. In the context of red and pink, red is considered to have a greater chroma because it is a more intense color without the addition of white. Pink is essentially a tint of red, created by mixing red with white, which lightens the color and reduces its intensity. As a result, pink will naturally have a lower chroma compared to red. Therefore, red's purer and more vibrant nature gives it the higher chroma in comparison.
