Things to consider when painting interiors Light colors make a room seem larger, while dark colors are better for accenting recessed areas and highlighting details. Use items in a room to give hints when choosing color. Pick a piece of furniture, art or a pillow for inspiration. Select the dominant color and see what other colors work well with it. Connecting rooms should share color elements. For example, use the same color on molding in adjoining rooms to unify an open space. Use light and dark colors to create interest. Attractive architectural features, such as molding and columns, can be emphasized by painting them a darker or lighter color. Consider the type of flooring in your home. The color of the carpet or hardwood flooring plays an important role in the feel of a room and can affect how a color appears. Because white naturally reflects light, it is a popular choice for ceilings. To add a feeling of intimacy and give your room a more refined look, try painting the ceiling a shade or two lighter than the walls.

How light affects color The quality of natural light changes the appearance of colors throughout the day.

• • •

Direct sunlight provides a constant light source and maintains color consistency. Sunlight varies from morning to noon to dusk. Colors appear more golden in the morning and as the sun sets. North-facing rooms get less direct sunlight, and the light tends to be cool (blue/green). South-facing rooms receive more direct sunlight, which tends to be warmer (yellow/orange). So, balance color by using warm colors in north-facing rooms and cool colors in south-facing ones.

Artificial light can change colors depending on the type of bulb.

• • •

Incandescent, or standard light bulbs, are more yellow than natural light and can give a warm, golden glow to colors. Fluorescent, or sealed tube lights, come in several color variations. Warm fluorescent bulbs bring out reds and other warm colors. Cool fluorescent bulbs highlight blues and other cool colors. Color-corrected fluorescent bulbs provide a more accurate appearance of a color. Halogen bulbs give a crisp, white light that affects colors less than other bulbs.

COLOR CHIPS AND PAINT: These color chips are produced as accurately as possible; however, actual paint colors may vary from these samples and from batch to batch. Paint colors are affected by many factors, including lighting, age, type of finish, type of surface and adjacent colors. Some colors may require more than one coat for complete coverage. If final color appearance and color matches are critical, paint should be sampled on the actual surface before full application. Application of the paint constitutes acceptance of the color. Dunn-Edwards assumes no responsibility for color after application.
