How do lighting and color work together?

Can you explain how lighting affects color perception?

Absolutely! Lighting can dramatically change how we perceive colors. For instance, under warm light, colors may appear more vibrant, while cool light can make them look muted.

What are some examples of this in real life?

A great example is how a white dress can look blue under certain lighting conditions, like in a shadow or under fluorescent lights.

How can I use this knowledge in interior design?

In interior design, you can choose lighting that enhances the colors of your decor. For example, using warm lights in a room with cool colors can create a cozy atmosphere.

Are there specific color combinations that work better with certain lighting?

Yes, certain colors can complement specific lighting. For instance, earthy tones often look great under warm lighting, while blues and greens can pop under cooler lights.
