Whether or not two color-specimina appear to him as fitting together depends entirely and exclusively upon whether or not he has the experience of concrete agreement, accordance, and coherence (“konkretes Kohärenzerlebnis”) on account of the particular characteristic individual aspects which the specimina present to him. In the case of identical specimina, the patient obviously experiences concrete agreement to the highest possible degree; hence he is prompt and unhesitating in assorting such specimina.\nTo assort color-specimina with reference to a principle of classification requires adoption of the “categorial” attitude, whether the principle of classification is adhered to consistently, i.e., for a certain length of time or is adopted for a brief moment only.\nIt is obviously with respect to only very few specimina that the mentioned experience takes place, whereas other specimina of the same hue, but of brightness, saturation, and other chromatic properties different from those of the object in question appear inappropriate and incongruous.\nIt is more or less under this phenomenal aspect that Gelb and Goldstein presume the heap of color-specimina to appear to their patient.
