About three centuries ago when I was in school, one of the things
they told you about in introductory Psych was a phenomena (I've
forgotten its name) wherein the eye behaves very much as you all
have been describing.  It can be demonstrated easily by gazing
fixedly at any strongly colored surface, then looking away at
some neutral (grey, white) surface. You will see the second surface
not as grey or white but as the complementary color of the first
surface. Don't know why, but that's how it works. Effect is well
known, don't worry about it - that's my message.
