Imagine you're looking at a painting, and the colors seem to change when you move, like magic! Painters use tricks with light and shade to make this happen. They mix different colors together on the canvas so that when the light hits it from different angles, you see new shades. It's like how a red apple looks darker in dim light but lighter in bright sunlight.
Examples
- A red dress looks lighter in bright sunlight but darker under a shaded tree.
- A yellow butterfly painted on canvas appears more vivid when viewed against a white background.
