Your eyes can be easily tricked by color relativity, making you perceive different colors based on surrounding hues. For example, a color might look green in one context but is actually a desaturated yellow. Jeremy Vickery shows you how this happens by explaining how colors shift in appearance depending on their environment. So, when you’re painting, use a limited palette and adjust colors slightly to achieve the desired effect. This technique helps create more believable and cohesive artwork by understanding and manipulating color temperature and relativity.
