The three major planes can also be present in still-life and interior scenes. Colors become progressively lighter in value as the distance away from the viewer increases. Colors become progressively cooler in the distance, except for whites.
Colors become increasingly muted, less intense in the distance.
Color and value contrasts are reduced in each succeeding plane as it recedes away from the viewer. Yellow is the first primary hue that drops out of the picture as the distance increases. The second primary color to disappear is red, leaving blue. Details diminish in the distance. Edges become softer in the distance, as though slightly out of focus.
