Chris,
I also relish any discussion of color. Throughout my education in a classroom senario and reading anything on the topic, I have been presented with so many approaches to color.
I agree with you and that is what I see when I paint, the most pure color right before a shadow turns into the lighted side.
My difficulty is in painting what "I" see as opposed to painting what I "see". Sometimes I see the shadow as so cool that I paint it in greens or blues, other times they appear warm so I use a warm dark color. The same goes for highlights.
It's a struggle but I love it. This Forum is also terrific. I am glad it is here and that so many participate.
