Yes, I have one. I was just referring to the video which, to me, implied that any color surrounding another changes the color of the surrounded color, thus making a "right" choice entirely subjective.
There is a method to the madness if I correctly remember my colour science from college over 50 years ago.
In broad concept the dominant or strongest colour will visually modify surrounding colours towards the COMPLIMENTARY of the dominant colour.
Hence consider a pictures of yellow sand and a blue sky.
The yellow sand will tend to cause the surrounding colours to visually move toward blue (The sky) and the blue sky with cause the surrounding colours to move visually towards yellow (The sand).
Carefully used this can aid reproducing the colours in your images, especially if a beach or desert scene.
Another example being red fruit and green foliage.
Enough for now - let's keep it simple.
