Addition chromatique

The Additive Color is based on the irradiation of color; that is, on the evidence that showed that when two color planes touch each other, a virtual line appears that is darker than the contact zone.

When he isolated that contact zone, Cruz-Diez generated what were named "Módulos de acontecimiento cromático" that, to some extent, were the cause of the continuous transformation of color.
