Italian term or phrase: croma
Si parla di polimerizzazione dei materiali compositi utilizzati dai dentisti

L'efficacia e la completezza della polimerizzazione dipendono da una serie di fattori: dimensioni e percentuale delle particelle de riempitivo (...) colore ed opacità/translucenza dello strato del materiale da polimerizzare (un composto di croma intenso o opaco richiedere maggiore quantità di luce per polimerizzare) ...

...Shade Basics
Color
• Hue – Describes whether the color appears red, yellow, blue, etc..Shade Family (Hue)A shades Red-brown characterB shades Red-yellow characterC shades Grey character (lower value)D shades Red-grey character (lower value)
• Chroma is the intensity of the shade. The higher the number, (e.g. A3 vs. A1) within a shadefamily, the more intense the color (A3 is more intense than A1).
• The value (amount of white or black) is higher (whiter) for the A and B shades. The C and Dshades have lower value (grayer) than the equivalently numbered A and B shades.

Elementi fondamentali del colore
Colore
• La “tinta” indica il colore: rosso, giallo, blu, e così via.I seguenti gruppi sono determinati seguendo una classificazione della tinta:Gruppo A tonalità rosso-marroneGruppo B tonalità rosso-gialloGruppo C tonalità grigio (valore minore)Gruppo D tonalità rosso-grigio (valore minore
• Il “croma” esprime l’intensità del colore. Maggiore è il numero (ad esempio, A3 rispetto adA1) nell’ambito dello stesso gruppo di colori, più intenso è il colore (A3 è più intenso di A1).
• Il “valore” si riferisce alla quantità di bianco o di nero: è maggiore (più bianco) per i coloriA e B. I colori C e D possiedono valori inferiori (più grigi) rispetto ai colori equivalenti indi-cati con A e B...

...Color is communicated in terms of hue, chroma and value all of which affect the final shade perceived by the eye. Hue is the base color, i.e., Red, Yellow and Blue. Chroma is the saturation, or intensity, of the hue i.e. light blue is low in chroma while royal blue is high in chroma; both colors are blue in hue. Value is the greyness of the color ranging from black (lowest value) to pure white (highest value)...

...The color of natural teeth is usually defined in a three-dimensional coordinate system that includes hue, chroma, and value.
Hue: The quality by which one color is distinguished from another. The "name" of the color and its main family (i.e., yellow, brown). Chroma: The quality by which we distinguish a strong color from a weak one. It's defined as the intensity of the hue (i.e., dark yellow vs. light yellow).
Value: Defined as the degree of brightness (lightness or darkness). A higher value means that a tooth is brighter and a low value means that a tooth is darker or less bright..."
