Imagine you're coloring a picture with crayons. If you want the colors to look different when the light changes, like from day to night, painters use special tricks. They mix certain colors together so that when the room gets darker or brighter, the colors still look nice and alive. It's like magic, but it’s actually clever art.
Examples
- A red apple painted in layers looks brighter in sunlight and deeper at night.
- A green leaf appears more vibrant during the day and slightly darker in low light.
