Whew! Just a little light reading for the weekend. 😀

When it’s time to grab the paint chips and start obsessing about a new paint color, what do you take into consideration? Do you think about how the color makes you feel? If your husband thinks its masculine enough? If it will easily show little, dirty hand prints?

I consider all of those things. But, I also consider my lighting.

Did you realize that something as simple as the color of a light bulb can drastically change the way a paint color looks in your room? Natural light and the location of artificial light can make a big difference, too.

I put together a guide for considering your light sources when painting your room for the Glidden MyColortopia blog. I encourage you to check it out and explore the site while you are over there. There are some really cool features – even one that lets you upload an inspiration photo and a suggested color palette just magically appears.

Do you make a habit of considering your lighting sources when choosing a paint color?
