Title Interaction of Color Example 10 (Optical Mixture: The Bezold Effect)
Description Certain strong colors when evenly distributed can entirely change the effect of something viewed. This figure shows red bricks laid up with very white mortar, and then shows the same color bricks laid up with pure black mortar. The red with white looks much lighter than the red with black, particularly at a distance.
