The Impact of Light on Color (Video)

Posted on May 24, 2018

When it comes to choosing paint colors, natural and artificial light are both things that need to be taken into consideration.

As a homeowner, you should always consider the light that will be presented in any given room prior to making your paint color selection. A color that you love might look a certain way when it gets hit with natural light, and it might look completely different when a lamp or overhead lighting is switched on. It’s important to find a color that you love no matter what light is shining on it. Aside from sampling the paint in different light, we also recommend sampling it in different parts of the room. Again, any given color can and most likely will look different at different times.

In the short video below, Hunter and Tommy demonstrate how differently a color can look in indoor light versus natural daylight:

As you can see, the difference in some paint colors can be staggering, so it’s critical that you choose a color that love in both settings.
