Josef Albers' book
Interaction of Colour (1970) is widely influential. Albers claims that colours react when they are next to another colour. We should never consider the characteristics of a colour as absolute, but always relating to the enviroment.

Contrast can be defined as “the difference in visual properties that
makes an object (or its representation in an image) distinguishable from
other objects and the background.” In plain English that could be
described at its most basic level as “things which look different from
one another”
