Simultaneous Contrast Theories

Where art and science collide.

1. The Color Wheel of Despair

Red and blue, a match made in heaven or a clash of the titans?

Adjacent Contrast Theories for the adventurous types.

2. The Law of Incompatible Opacities

When black and white can't agree on anything.

Achromatic Phenomena, because who needs color, really?

3. The Simultaneous Contrast Paradox

Where the eye is tricked into seeing something that isn't there.

Illusory Illusions, because perception is reality, right?

Note: Simultaneous contrast theories refer to a phenomenon in color perception where two colors placed side by side can make each other appear more or less saturated than they would be if they were displayed separately. This is a real psychological effect, but the content of this page is purely fictional and for entertainment purposes only.
