Why is clearing visual noise important when choosing paint color?

Clearing visual noise means removing distracting colors around your paint samples, like beige walls or colored trim, to see true undertones. Using a neutral primed white board or wall for large paint samples lets you isolate and accurately assess color shifts caused by light and surroundings. This clarity helps prevent misreading colors, making your decision more reliable. A clean background ensures you select a paint color that truly harmonizes with your flooring and room lighting.
