Thanks to a brief moment of sunlight here I could make a very clear picture.
I will be where they did this for 3 weeks ;)

The lightness will change as if there was a perfect lamp at 17 cm from the center of the figure.
The white structure appears really “transparent.”
This geometrical solution could be called the “pixel solution,” since the surface is divided in 2×2 cm squares, other solutions are possible and will be tried later on the study: concentric zones, gradients… The only color added to the grey background is Titanium White (TW), later I’ll try color, enjoy ;)

The central segment of the figure is too dark, result: instead of becoming invisible the circular zone in the middle appears brighter than its surroundings… As corners do…
Its probably because of the wear affecting the tracing instrument. It might be possible to correct this with white lines, but it will be complicated! See you there soon….

This is the final test: does grey circular samples made of bright colors and their grey surroundings made of black lines appear the same, or: visually equivalents. In other terms: do the color-made samples disappear?
It works quite well for these 3 first ones. 5 to go with the opposite problem: black-made samples, colored-lines made surroundings…
After this the question could be: what is the exact distance at which such optical colors mixtures become a “color field,” and how to know (calculate, predict…) it?
