On s'assure en teinture que chaque lot no 1 qui se répète soit exactement de la même teinte que le premier lot no 1. C'est ce qu'on appelle «contrôle de la couleur».

chroma control: The control that adjusts the amplitude of the carrier chrominance signal fed to the chrominance demodulators in a color television receiver, so as to change the saturation of vividness of the hues in the color picture.

CONT

There are two things that can be accomplished by adjusting the color control. By rotating it fully counterclockwise, the color circuits are rendered ineffective, and the receiver reproduces the picture in black and white. Turning the control clockwise adjusts the amount of color for the picture.

Everyone has a preference for how they like their toast. Some like it toasted just enough to be golden; others prefer it much darker, with singed edges. For this reason, toasters come with colour controls. By adjusting the control to a specific colour code or word, you get toast the way you like it.
