ROLE

simultaneous contrast

Josef Alber’s principle states that colors can reveal different appearances when they are put behind other colors. Depending on its background, one color can appear as two different colors than what it actually is. It also works the other way around, having two different colors can appear the same when paired on different colored backgrounds.
