If you are getting a yellow cast, we would recommend finding a cooler temperature bulb(s), 3000K to 5500k is on the cooler range.

Thanks for your question – in this situation, you may enjoy a brighter 'day light' colored bulb, something 3500 - 5000 Kelvins. With darker paint colors, like forest greens, you can go brighter in lumens as well – look for bulbs that are 800 lumens or greater.

If your furniture piece looks more blue outdoors in natural daylight, we would recommend going with 'day light' colored bulbs indoors. Look for a bulb in the 3500-5000 Kelvins range. If you want more overall brightness as well, look for a higher lumen bulb, 800 lumens or above. These ' day light' colored bulbs will bring out the blue tones.

Dull-looking light usually comes from the bulb not being bright enough. Look for a bulb with brighter lumens, something that is 600 or higher. Lamp shades are great for softening and diffusing the light for a cozy feel, but if your bulb is not bright enough, it can feel dreary. For a cozy feel, we would recommend choosing a "soft white" colored bulb, which would be between 2700K and 3000K, but not going over 3000K - "Daylight" bulbs often feel cold and institutional at nighttime.

In this case, with Benjamin Moore October Mist, my best suggestion would be to try a warmer toned bulb(s) in your room, look for 'soft white' or 'warm white' with a color temperature of less than 3000 Kelvin. A cooler color bulb, higher than 3000K will add bluer tones to the space, possibly making your paint feel more minty-green.

We would recommend a warmer bulb, Soft White or Warm White, look for 3000k or lower on the temperature scale.

I would recommend a dark grey with warmer undertones if you go grey. Deep teal will be hard to warm up under cooler lights, but a dark navy or emerald green could work instead and may lean a bit more teal under your lights. It's a good idea to buy a few sample colors and put them up in your space to test them out first! Make sure you paint a large enough area, at least 12" x 12" to get a feel for the color. Hope this helps!

If the natural light from the trees is making your walls appear green, you can try adjusting the lighting in your room to balance out the colors. One option is to use a warmer light bulb with a color temperature of around 2700K to 3000K, which will emit a warm light that can counteract the green tint. Another option would be to diffuse the natural light by adding sheer curtains, in an ivory or beige color. The sheerness of the curtains will allow some natural light to filter through while softening the overall light in the room.

Thanks for your question - a higher CRI will show actual paint color better than a lower CRI. That being said, a warmer toned lightbulb should help tone down the blue tones in your paint. Look for a bulb that is 2700k or below, anything above 3000k will start to feel colder, and may enhance the blue tones.

A high-lumen daylight bulb could help! Look for something at least 800 lumens and 3000-5000k in temperature.

Yes, a cooler toned daylight bulb should make your tan walls appear less yellow gold, while a warmer toned bulb will bring out those warm gold undertones.

Thanks for your question! Assuming your hallway is not getting a lot of natural light, you'll want to use warmer toned light bulbs. Select a bulb in the 2700-3000K range to help eliminate the blue tones.

Thanks for your question. A cooler, more daylight-colored bulb will tone down the warm tones, while a warmer, amber-colored bulb will do the opposite. Look for bulbs described as "Cool" or "Bright" white, or "Daylight." Kelvins describe the temperature or color of the light - anything over 3500K should do the trick. Hope that helps!

To tone down blue tones and enhance green tones, you'll want to use warmer, amber colored bulbs. Look for "Warm" or "Soft" White bulbs, with a kelvin temperature of lower than 3000K for your flush mount fixtures and task lighting. Vintage-style or "Edison" bulbs will also give you a warm glow, but they are generally less bright and are great for creating a cozy, relaxing vibe. Hope that helps!

Thanks for your question - I understand, as I also find that "daylight" color bulbs feel a little too cold for me. Look for "Soft White" or "Warm White" colored bulbs, which would help!

Many colors look great with amber colored light, but colors on the warmer end of the spectrum will be complimented best by amber light. Personally, I love a warm earth tone for a dining room, like a terracotta. I would stay away from cooler colors, like lavender, or light blue. It's always a good idea to paint a sample on the actual accent wall, and view it at all times of day. Have fun choosing your new color!

We recommend trying warm white lighting, but it depends on the brand and composition of the paint, as well as the position of your light fixture.

Yes, warm lights tend to dull blue tones. We recommend using soft white bulbs.

Hi there - Yes, using a cooler white light will help tone down the brownish tones in your marble. A "daylight" balanced bulb will be a cooler white, but not too harsh.

When you notice the tile is looking the way you want it to, you should note the color temperature and the CRI of the bulbs you are using. You can then buy your lighting based on that information to make your tiles look just the way you want them.
