Simultaneous contrast describes the way a colour appears to change when

  • A.the sheet is printed on heavier paper
  • B.the reader looks at it for a long period
  • C.the colour surrounding it is altered
  • D.the map is viewed at a different scale

Answer: C

Correct answer: the colour surrounding it is altered

A patch looks lighter against a dark ground and darker against a light one, and its hue shifts away from that of its surround. The effect is a property of vision rather than of the ink, and it is why a colour should be judged in the setting it will occupy rather than on its own.
