It's the Value of color's in a quilt project, that perform's two function's. It creates a sense of depth and it makes the design in a block. Value, the lightness or the darkness of color does as much to determine the look of the quilt as the colors themselves. So when I looked a the pretty quilt block with the dark purple batiks with the light ones, the dark color popped out to me. The dark colors come forward & the light colors recede. So in my eye the purple color just POP'S!!
I hope this makes sense as to how I think something POP'S. It is probably just the way that I look at color's. I also have a color wheel & use it alot. I don't have the the piece of film that you can look through, so I have never tried that. When I see something else that really pop's to my eye, I will be sure to let you know!! Do have a great day & thank you for bringing this subject again. I love to read your posts.
