" It is the context that determines what article is used, not the adjective itself, per se.

This would depend on the context, for example:
"The morning light suffused the room."
If you change the adjective before the word light, the article may or may not change, depending on the context, for example:
"The strange blue light suffused the room."
"A strange blue light suffused the room."
It is the context that determines what article is used, no
"The morning light suffused the room."
