The Induction Chromatique (1963) is closely related to the phenomenon of “after image,” or retinal persistence. In other words, the retina of the eye, after gazing at a red colored plane for a certain length of time, retains, even after it looks away, an image of the plane — in green; which is the induced color or complementary color.

The phenomenon previously described, takes place in two phases, however, the Induction Chromatique brings it about simultaneously. In other words, it stabilizes and makes visible a phenomenon that can only be captured momentarily and in very special circumstances. The color that appears is and is not — it has a virtual existence — however, it is as real as the pigments used.

This is demonstrated by inductive yellow, which is obtained by superimposing black, blue, and white; inductive orange, produced with blue, yellow, and black; or the induction of red, by means of green, white, and black.
