It is there – you have to look hard, outdoors, in real light. How dirty some of those paintings appear after the Impressionists! The Impressionists helped us to see the color in shadows. Artists had been overlaying their training in charcoal or ink onto color. At first, their vision seemed wild – people had become used to shading color with black and making color lighter with white pigment. The Impressionists starting painting shadows with violets and blues after the study of optics pointed out the prismatic effect of light.
