Hunt effect (color)

The Hunt effect, also known as the Hunt's effect or the Hunt color effect, refers to a phenomenon in color perception where the appearance of a color can change based on its surrounding colors. This effect highlights the context-dependent nature of color perception, illustrating how adjacent colors can influence how we perceive a specific color's hue, brightness, and saturation. For example, a gray color may appear lighter when placed next to a dark color and darker when placed next to a light color.
