Exclusive Concentration compared as colors absorbed by an object

[Red, Green, and Blue are the primary components of White light. The presence of all three colors will result in white, and the absence of all three will produce black… If an object absorbs those wavelengths corresponding to the colors red and green, we then perceive blue. If an object absorbs those wavelengths corresponding to the colors green and blue, we then perceive red… In other words, red ink absorbs, or subtracts, two-thirds of the visible spectrum, and reflects one-third. The same can be said for blue and green. They each absorb two thirds of the visible spectrum and reflect one third. Home]

The riddlesome, and oft-contested, theory of Exclusive Concentration as delineated by Sri Aurobindo in The Life Divine may be compared roughly to the phenomenon of how we perceive the color of an object. [TNM]
