How does evening lighting affect Alabaster wall color appearance?

Answer

Evening lighting, especially with warm 2700K bulbs or camera flash, emphasizes the creamy, yellow undertones in Alabaster walls, sometimes making them appear more yellow or beige than in daylight. This shift can also affect how trim colors are perceived, potentially increasing color clashes. To manage this, consider warmer or matched trim colors, and test all samples under your home’s evening lighting. Adjusting your bulb temperature or selecting trim with compatible undertones ensures Alabaster maintains its intended soft, warm white appearance day and night.
