Colour & Light

One of the most difficult aspects of choosing a paint colour is knowing how it will behave in different lights.

Check it out in natural light at different times of the day too, and compare the effect of weak morning rays with that of warm evening sun, or cloudy days.
The quality of natural lights depends on the time of day, season, weather and orientataion of the room
  


Pools of light created by spotlights areglentler than a single light source.
Finally, see how the colour changes in different types of artificial light. The good news is that the interplay between light and colour can be used to the decorator's advantage, compensating for less-than-perfect conditions.

Choose colours that appear to alter and improve your existing light system, or the natural light that you have no control over.

For example, if you're faced with decorating a cold, dingy, north facing room, choose warm colours and you'll improve the light quality in an instant.
