If you can get your hands on a copy of this book that contains color plates, you'll be able to understand Birren's point.He discusses the selection of oil paint colors by specific artists (Rembrandt, Turner) or specific periods (Impressionist). One of the things he most extols is the ability of an artist to create the illlusion that light emanates from the canvas itself, a talent he says Turner excelled in.
