Simultaneous contrast is not just a curious optical phenomenon -- it is the very heart of painting. Repeated experiments with adjacent colors will show that any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences.
-Josef Albers
Constancy: Tendency for qualities of objects to seem to stay the same, despite changes in the way people view the objects.
Color constancy: Tendency to see the hue of an object as staying the same despite changes in the color of the light falling on it.

constancy phenomenon: In perception, the tendency for brightness, colour, size, or shape to remain relatively perceptually constant despite real changes in colour, size, shape or other conditions of observation.
-The On-line Medical Dictionary
If one says "Red" (the name of color) and there are fifty people listening, it can be expected that there will be fifty reds in their minds. And one can be sure that all these reds will be very different.
Whether something "has color" or not is as hard to define verbally as are such questions as "what is music" or "what is musical."
As basic rules of a language must be practiced continually, and therefore are never fixed, so exercises toward distinct color effects never are done or over. New and different cases will be discovered time and again…
-Josef Albers
Colouring does not depend on where the colours are put, but on where the lights and darks are put, and all depends on form and outline, on where that is put.
-William Blake
