the problem with tangerine

“In tangerine-orange subtle differences between red and yellow are so difficult to perceive as a single color that one eye seems to see red while the other sees yellow. A person walking for too long on a tangerine hued carpet eventually begins to stagger because his eyes can’t any longer decide where to put his feet.”

(Malcolm de Chazal, Sens-plastique, trans. Irving Weiss, p. 247.)
