Shed a Little Light

Colors look different under different lighting

The best way to get a true view of a paint color is to look at it under many different kinds of lights. Take the paint chip outside to see it in natural light. Look at it under a florescent and incandescent light. Perhaps the best thing to do is to take the paint chip into the room you’re hoping to paint it in, next to the fabrics and accessories you plan to use. If the surface you plan to paint is near a window, you may have a combination of natural light and artificial light.
