Learn How Different Lighting Can Affect the Color of Your Paint
The lighting in your house can affect your paint color drastically. In this video you will learn the difference between a variety of light bulbs and how lighting will change the mood and paint of your room.
Lighting is one of the most important features of your home and can really enhance the feel of a room. There's a variety of different artificial bulbs to choose from and it's important to know how they affect paint colors in the room.
Ever have that issue when the swatch looks different in store than in your home? It's because of lighting.
First there's incandescent bulbs. These provide warm light and make bright and warm colors appear more intense while making cooler colors appear more dull. These are the bulbs you're seeing me use in this video.
Next, fluorescent bulbs, these give off a cool slightly bluish light and work well with cool tones. Last, halogen bulbs, these are closest to replicating naturally and they don't distort color as much as the others.
When choosing paint it's so important to check your sample colors with the lighting of the room. A simple switch of a light bulb can change the look completely.
