How neighboring colors change one another in the eye

No color is ever seen on its own. This module covers the main cases: colors side by side, colors seen one after another, small marks the eye blends, and shared edges. Each page has a diagram you can test on yourself.


  • One paint made to look like two
  • Ghost colors that follow a steady stare
  • Dots and fine lines that merge at a distance
  • Edges that shimmer or vanish, and flat shapes that look like glass

Context
The colors around a color, which change how it looks.
