Alexandra:

If I'm not mistaken, it says that the color of the light source extends itself into surrounding space. This is actually a color influence rather than a repeated color. The color of light blends into the color of the background.

So, if the color of your light was warm, and the color of the head/flesh was was warm, you'd get a "warm halo," so to speak -- wouldn't you?

However, if the color of light is blending with the background, and the light source is warm, and the background is cool, you'd get the cancelling effect of mixing a warm and cool. Again, a question mark.

Let's get some really good minds going on this . . . . . . .
