A definitional consideration
In Garth Lewis's book "2000 Color Combinations" an alternative definition is given for 'fugitive colors' as those which are non-primary mixed colors and more susceptible to simultaneous contrast than the more vibrant primary colors. He mentions the phrase as being originated by Josef Albers (1888-1976). Also described on page 224 of this book is the work by the French chemist Michel Chevreul working for a tapestry maker Gobelin and discovered that the appearance of fading of some colors in tapestries was in fact a powerful optical effect (simultaneous contrast) caused by juxtaposition of colors and founded much of the work by subsequent artists and designers.
