Color and Light
"Color is light made visible, and the atmosphere of the air we breathe and the quality of the light passing through it affect how we see color," David Kaufman
Do you feel that your paint color is off? Or feel your walls look dingy certain parts of the day or night? Are you unhappy with the color on the walls because it is nothing like the paint chip color you choose? Well, before you run out and change that paint color, try changing your light bulb first.
It's a simple fact incandescent bulbs generate yellow light that intensifies warm colors but tends to dull cooler colors. Try changing your incandescent bulb with a LED light. LED lighting solves all the problems associated with other light bulbs and has proven to provide better light. Although expensive, these bulbs produce light that most closely resembles natural sunlight. (you can read more here about LED lighting). Sometimes a simple solution is the best solution. To create a crisp, airy atmosphere that will show off bright colors to best effect, consider using bright-white light bulbs. For a warmer, cozier look that works well with darker colors and rich textures, go with light-pink bulbs, or even amber-colored accent lights in sconces.Give it a try in your room!
