Simultaneous Contrast Study

Design Aesthetics I

October, 2020 

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how the same hue can yet appear as two separate hues to the eye 

when the surrounding field of color is manipulated. From rows 1-4, the same hue appears to first differ in value, 

then saturation, temperature, and finally the same–while the actual hues (at bottom) are distinctly different.
