How does lighting affects paint colors? #HossColor chat

The natural light, shadows, and light bulb lighting that is interacting with the wall color gives us an impression of several purples instead of just one.

Your light bulbs might be wrecking your paint color. Let’s talk #HossColor chat.

The lighting that is interacting with the wall color looks like several purples instead of just one. Why? Let’s talk about color and light on #HossColor Twitter chat.

Color and light are like a design team. And when they work well together, it’s amazing.

And when they aren’t working well, it can be turbulent.

We’ve all been there.

Poised to paint a color that we’ve deliberated about for hours or days. The can opens, and the color isn’t the same. It isn’t the same as what we saw in the store, in the magazine, or on our friend’s wall.

‘It’s got to be a different color.’

But, it’s not.

Join us on Wednesday, February 10th at 1:30pmET on Twitter for #HossColor chat. And if you have a questions you’d like to ask that’s off-topic, go ahead and ask. We’re here to help.

If you can’t wait until Wednesday? Just tweet or email me right now. ??t
