Yeah, I did the same thing with the eyedropper. I mean, I knew, sort of, in theory that color perception takes into account what light it is, but I hadn't thought it would be so extreme.
That explains *a lot* though, for why my colors often don't look right (especially when I want to have a different light, like night time or firelight) when I color things, because I fall into the trap to color via the "grass is green" fallacy of what the colors "ought to be" and don't take into account that instead I ought to draw the wacky colors, so that I'd fool the viewer into employing the same compensations they would need to when looking at this for real.
