I guess not.

The red diamond, being surrounded by the two blue diamonds, looks as if it were magenta instead of red from a distance.

What John is describing is called "dithering."
See puzzles # 10553, 11735 (the link in comment #9), 16478, 19247... for a few other examples of said technique.

This made me wonder about the range of dithering coloring, so I made 21313:

I would recommend peeking rather than solving; it's a horribly boring solve.
