WHY BEAUTIFUL COLOURS MUST BE IN THE [HIGHEST] LIGHT.
On the use of dark and light colours in painting (284--286).Since we see that the quality of colour is known [only] by means of light, it is to be supposed that where there is most light the true character of a colour in light will be best seen; and where there is most shadow the colour will be affected by the tone of that. Hence, O Painter! remember to show the true quality of colours in bright lights.
