The way humans perceive color is influenced by the surrounding context of neighboring colors, lighting conditions, size and quantity, what we look at before and after, and more. His central thesis is that there are no absolutes in color. In contrast, Albers’ teaches you how to truly see color.
Or as Albers puts it: “Experience teaches that in visual perception there is a discrepancy between physical fact and psychic effect.” Other teaching methods focus on theory, color systems, the physics of color (wavelength, rods and cones, etc.), or resort to rote rules like, “red means danger.” It’s mechanical, mathematical, rules-based, and divorced from how people perceive and react to color. Interaction of Color is, by far, the best book on color I’ve ever read. Exercises from 'Interaction of Color' by Josef Albers
