Answer

Compare paint samples by observing large swatches in your room during morning, noon, afternoon, and evening light. Take phone photos at each time for accurate comparison. Notice how color temperature changes under natural daylight versus artificial light. The ideal paint color shows consistent undertones and doesn’t shift dramatically with lighting changes. This thorough review ensures your color fits your lifestyle and lighting conditions before buying.
