Insiders Tip: Color & Light

Sunlight and use of space are key opponents when choosing the right color for your room. Here are a few tips on selecting the right paint color for your space
Sunlight
South-Facing: Go with cooler tones to balance the bright light from outside.

North-Facing: Add warmer colors to brighten your room.

Use
Daytime- Choose whites and neutrals to give a crisp, clean feel.

Nighttime- Choose warmer colors that will look best under the lamps.

Try the color first on a poster board- keep it up for a few days to get a real feel for it. This will help you see the color in the many different lights, and how it works with everything else in the room.
I know choosing a color for your space can some times be overwhelming- just go with your gut. If you like it- then I say go for it!
