Choosing a paint color is hard enough—but did you know that the lighting in your space can completely change how that color appears on your walls?

Natural light

North-facing rooms tend to receive cooler, bluer light. South-facing rooms get warmer, yellower light. A gray that looks perfect in a north room might feel too cold in a south-facing space.

Artificial light

LED, incandescent, and fluorescent bulbs each cast different color temperatures. We recommend testing paint samples under the same lighting you'll use day-to-day.

Our recommendation

At Danova Renovations, we offer color consultations that include large brush-outs and daylight/LED tests. We'll help you see how your chosen colors will look in your actual space before we begin.

Pro tip: Paint a 2x2 foot sample on the wall and live with it for a few days. Check it at morning, noon, and evening to see how it shifts.
