Hi Ulf
Yes you are right. In fact all human visual perception is probably like this
to a far greater extent than is generally realised. Mark Fairchild's book
'Color Appearance Models' does a really good survey of research into the
effect of surround. I forget about adaptation times in switching between
90deg views, but I seem to recollect there's a reference to it in there
somewhere. I guess because we're so used to it, we tend to forget that
nothing actually has 'color' - it all happens in our head.
