If we focus on orange and then move it to a white surface, the eye "responds" with an afterimage of cyan. This is living proof of how colors interact and how our vision reveals their hidden logic.
White here is not simply a background. It is an abundance of light, neutral and static, yet dominant. Thanks to the adaptability of our eyes, white always remains white, regardless of the type of lighting.
Against this background, orange explodes with energy. It appears darker but more saturated, as if it is gaining strength. It is the color of fire and movement that attracts the eye and stimulates alertness. It has an intense effect and draws attention to itself almost instinctively, making it impossible to ignore.

The combination of white and orange is a meeting of balance and energy. White maintains stability, while orange unfolds its full power alongside it. Cyan, which appears in the afterimage, completes this triad and reminds us that each color carries an echo of its opposite. Together they form a composition that appeals to both the senses and the imagination – rich in contrast and yet harmonious.
