As I look again, I think it's a combination of the exposure thing you mention, plus the trick that adjacent tones can play on the eyes.Tom Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770238579550226268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-20146781322133974942011-07-22T10:30:51.057-04:002011-07-22T10:30:51.057-04:00Tom, that may just be an exposure thing.

But this is a great idea - to use several base colors, not just one.<br /><br />Thanks, as always, James for generously sharing your knowledge!Tom Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770238579550226268noreply@blogger.com
