We are able to hear a single tone.
But we almost never (that is, without special devices) see a single color
unconnected and unrelated to other colors.
Colors present themselves in 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.

the approach, the perspective, the style? And it's all different for everyone... in the do-ing and the view-ing.

True, that is always tricky for the artist, what you see that you are creating and what the audience then sees. Sometimes it is not what you expect at all!
