Colours are better identified if they are surround by other colours.
Human have colour invariance.  This means colours are adjusted so an
item that is partly in the sun and partly in shade will look like it has
the same colour throughout.  It also makes it hard to see true colour.
For example, the colour of black on a LCD monitor is actually a dark
grey.  The only way you can see this is have it powered on but with
every pixel as black.  If a small patch is not black, then the illusion
kicks in and the rest of the screen looks black.

What colours you see depend on what colour the object is, the lighting,
and what are the colours of nearby objects.
