A simpler way to understand this is as follows. The chromatic behavior in representational painting is to analyze the dominant ambient spectral influence within the environment. In any illuminated space, local object color does not exist as an isolated or absolute phenomenon, but rather as a perceptual interpretation resulting from the interaction between material surface properties and the prevailing wavelengths of incident light.
For example, within an enclosed environment saturated by red illumination, the ambient photon distribution becomes heavily biased toward longer wavelengths within the visible spectrum. Consequently, all surfaces within that environment undergo a form of chromatic contamination, in which their perceived hue, saturation, and value shift toward the spectral characteristics of the red light source. Under these conditions, even objects conventionally identified as blue, green, or neutral gray will exhibit altered colorimetric behavior and will no longer present their intrinsic local hue in a perceptually pure state.
This phenomenon occurs because the human visual system interprets color relationally rather than absolutely, continuously compensating for environmental illumination through adaptive perceptual mechanisms. Therefore, in pictorial construction, the artist must account not only for the inherent pigmentation of an object, but also for the cumulative influence of ambient light diffusion, wavelength scattering, reflective bounce illumination, and atmospheric color integration across the entire visual field.
I hope that made it clearer.
