for instance, a fade to white can be disturbing, but less physically distressing to the eyes if it's slightly off-white (tinted to the color palette of the rest of the source).
That is something that I tend to be sensitive to, yes, though it wasn't what I was thinking of specifically re: color palette. The white flashing thing is something I can't tolerate because of being light-sensitive, and when it happens on a big screen in a darkened room, it causes migraine for me (and not a few others). But I don't have that problem watching on a TV or computer with lights on in the room. (One advantage of online vids!)
What I was thinking of -- and I'm not immediately thinking of a specific vid as an example, but I know I've seen this more than once -- is what happenes when someone uses a negative image of a clip together with the unaltered clip. The colors in the negative version of the clip are exactly opposite on the color wheel, so when these two clips are put in direct juxtaposition to one another, my eyes get the visual equivalent of whiplash. This may be what the vidder intended, but it is violent enough for me that I immediately lose track of the story the vid's telling me and respond negatively to the effect.
