28) Emphasis by Contrast (list type of contrast you select)

When a pattern is difficult, it is hard to find a vocal point. If an artist uses contrasting colors, like George Stubbs did in this painting, then it is easier to find the vocal point. The white horse against the dark background contrasts to create emphasis. Had the horse been dark then there would not have been a vocal point.
