Solution

See an example of paint The way we “see” color primarily depends on two things: 1.The light that an object absorbs.Black absorbs all colors; white absorbs none; blue absorbs red. 2.How the light source works.Natural light (sunlight) changes throughout the day and is affected by a room’s location. Artificial light changes with the type of bulb you use.

Here’s how to figure out how lighting will affect yourpaint color choicesbeforeyou plunk down cash for the paint:

How Sunlight Affects Colors

As the amount and angle of the sun changes, so will your room colors. “Natural light should always be considered when choosing color for a space,” says Sarah Cole of the Farrow & Ball paint company. North-facing rooms:Light in these rooms is cool and bluish. Bolder colors show up better than muted colors; lighter colors will look subdued. “Use strong colors and embrace what nature has given,” says Cole. South-facing rooms:Lots of high-in-the-sky light brings out the best in cool and warm colors. Dark colors will look brighter; lighter colors will virtually glow. East-facing rooms:East light is warm and yellowy before noon, then turns bluer later in the day. These are great rooms for reds, oranges and yellows. West-facing rooms:Evening light in these rooms is beautiful and warm, while scant morning light can produce shadows and make colors look dull
