Quantity, location and weather

Explanation:

The concept of the ceteris paribus, is vital in economics as in the real world, it is generally hard to isolate all the variables that are different, and might change the result or outcome.

The ceteris paribus is the simplification, which include holding other things (both outside as well as inside the model) constant. In this situation, all variables except price and the color are held constant. In this example, such as quantity, weather and location are held constant.
