Colors represent themselves in a continuous flux, constantly related to changing neighbors and changing conditions. As a consequence, this proves for the reading of color what Kandinsky often demanded for the reading of art: what counts is not the what but the how”
-Josef Albers, Interaction of Color, New Heaven, 1963, p. 5.
