For example, if you see pink on a TV picture — say a picture of a princess with a pink hat on display in a cafe — you instantly think of the pinkest color. The brain just doesn't want to think about the pink hat that person is wearing. And so, just on a random TV screen it's impossible to see pink. The same goes for other colors.
However, when you see pink on the Internet, your brain quickly recognizes that the image is of the pinkest color. In other words, it makes associations to pink. This is because the TV picture was given the pink color and the Internet image is given a different color.
Color association however, is a fairly crude method of associating a color with an object. In more complex situations, you need more sophisticated techniques.
One such technique is called visual color space. The color space of the human eye is divided into seven primary colors — red, green, blue, cyan, yellow, indigo and magenta. The brain looks only at red and green when considering images, blue and cyan when ictifying a noun and indigo and magenta when judging a person.This process is the basis of visual color spaces in computer graphics. It can take some time and effort (not to mention a lot of training), but it gives you a huge visual benefit. Color space images are simply a sequence of colored parts. For example:
Red = red/Green = green
Green = green/Blue = blue
Blue = blue/Dark grey = white
This "Color Selection" is used much more often on the internet than on TV, which explains the previously mentioned issue with the color pink, as pink is a particularly complex color combination, being:
Pink = red/Blue = red/Blue = grey/Red = grey/Green = blue/Dark Grey = gray/Dark Grey = red/Blue = red/Dark Grey = red/Blue = grey
