Imagine you're painting a sunset. You know red and yellow make orange, but sometimes adding blue makes it look more like the sky at dusk. Painters don't just see colors, they feel how they mix together in their minds before even touching the canvas. To them, color is almost like a language they can read and write with brushes.
Examples
- A painter adds blue paint to an orange sky to make it feel more like dusk.
- They see the same red apple under a lamp as a different color than in daylight.
- They mix black into white to create shades that look like clouds.
