How Lighting Affects Paint Color

Don't believe lighting affects how your paint color looks? Check out these photos.

When this office was painted, the color wasn't quite what it appeared to be on the sample. The lighting was way too harsh for the chosen color. They changed up the bulb situation for a much warmer and cozier effect. ☀️

When choosing colors for your home, we always recommend that the lighting conditions are the same as what you will be enjoying the space with (overhead, lamps, etc.). We also recommend making sure to check out your colors in each room the color is going in, in different locations in the room, and in different times of the day.

The photos below show a range from 2700K to 6000K.
