Which option correctly explains colour illusion?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The same colour can appear different because of surrounding colours.
Colour illusion is governed by contextual perception: the eye and brain judge a colour in relation to neighbouring colours, lighting, contrast, and surrounding values. Consequently, the same swatch may appear warmer, cooler, lighter, or darker in different settings. Option A states this principle. B and D deny context effects, while C incorrectly limits illusion to line. Thus A is correct.
