Chapter 2 · Color Interaction 03 / 12

Color Demands Context

1

No color exists in isolation

Every hue shifts its identity depending on its neighbor. A yellow beside white is not the same yellow beside black.

2

Borders create new realities

Where two colors meet, a third presence emerges uninvited. The edge becomes the event itself.

3

Saturation is a social fact

The same cobalt reads darker beside emerald, lighter beside warm cream. Intensity bends to company.

4

Constraint breeds invention

Four nested planes, one formal rule, over a thousand unique paintings. Limitation is the engine of discovery.
