i would assume that its the same reason why in artistic painting, blue paint
looks different when you paint it over red paint that has already dried, in
comparison to blue paint painted over white paint that has dried. not all
light gets reflected or absorbed on the first layer of blue and it travels
to the second layer of white or red, where the same thing happens again. so
the properties of what is underneath effect what you end up seeing.

but this is all just a guess.
