Answer

Different light bulbs significantly affect how Alabaster walls and trim colors appear. For example, 2700K bulbs cast a warmer glow that can emphasize Alabaster’s creamy yellow undertones, while 3000K to 3500K bulbs produce a cooler, cleaner light that reduces yellowing. Using cooler bulbs can make Alabaster walls appear more neutral, which impacts how trim colors look too. Always test your trim painters using the actual lighting in your room to see how colors shift from day to night before making a final decision.
